Hi! Seems like I can only reply on weekends these days (all the weekdays are eaten by @WORK :-()

Perfect. Lets make sure that starting from Bigtop 0.9.0 Debian is always supported. Here's what needs to happen: 0. You need to tell us what version(s) of Debian Bigtop should be targeting. 1. We need to make sure that our Puppet code for toolchain creation and deployment runs on Debian. 2. We need to start baking official Bigtop build Docker images and start doing the builds. If this seems reasonable -- feel free to file JIRAs, let me know your jira ID and I will assign them to you for the 0.9.0 time frame. On #2 we would need to also have an official Debian docker image somehow. Looking at https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/debian/tags/manage/ it seems that Debian is maintained there, so perhaps all we need to do is just take care of #1. >From that point, of course, we'd also have to start building Debian bits on our Jenkins and fix things as they fail. >> The work would start with helping us bootstrap Debian >> on our CI, but then just being able to provide feedback >> would be huge. > > I bootstraped debian/stable and debian/testing (with one exception) right now. > My personal tree/commits is at https://github.com/oflebbe/github right now. > I still have to package commits into JIRA ... Yup. If you could start filing those JIRAs that would be very much appreciated. >> Is there any reason we shouldn't be enforcing it 100%? > > No AFAIK we could enforce C.UTF-8.

Are you saying that Debian *inside* of a Docker container is not quite ready? We don't need to run those containers under Debian, but we need Debian to function within the container. Thanks, Roman.
