I'm guilty of having too many ITPs assigned to me that I haven't gotten around
to, filing as an RFP.

That'd be because it's not actually part of Docker proper; it just
happens to be part of the releases Docker, Inc makes:

https://github.com/docker/buildx

It's a separate binary that can be placed in the appropriate place to
be picked up and invoked by the Docker client, so I guess this should
be converted to RFP or ITP depending on your level of interest in
getting it into Debian. :)

Bug#989917: docker.io: docker "buildx" not found

[Elana Hashman]

Package: docker.io
X-Debbugs-Cc: ehash...@debian.org
Version: 20.10.5+dfsg1-1+b3
Severity: important

When I try to run the `docker buildx build` command, even with experimental
features enabled, it fails:

ehashman@fedora:~$ docker buildx build
docker: 'buildx' is not a docker command.
See 'docker --help'
ehashman@fedora:~$ DOCKER_CLI_EXPERIMENTAL=enabled docker buildx build
docker: 'buildx' is not a docker command.
See 'docker --help'

I can't find any patches or files under debian/copyright suggesting this
functionality was patched out of the docker.io package.

The docker documentation suggests that this is included in the Docker system
packages,[1] and so I have encountered projects that assume it will be
available so long as experimental CLI features are enabled.[2] As far as I can
tell, buildx doesn't appear to be available either as part of the docker.io
Debian package nor as a separate package on Debian (e.g. docker-buildx or
similar).

Thanks in advance for the help!
