Docker-alpine: Alpine 3.4.1

[veqryn]

Alpine 3.4.1 is out. Just wondering if you can update and release new gliderlabs and alpine images for it.

Also, I'm curious if you guys could support semantic versioning in releases, somewhat similar to what docker images like golang or ubuntu are doing.

ie:
alpine:3 (would be 3.4.1 under the hood right now)
alpine:3.4 (would be 3.4.1 under the hood right now)
alpine:3.4.0
alpine:3.4.1
alpine:3.3
alpine:3.3.3
etc

There is nothing to update in the image with Alpine 3.4.1 release. See related #129 for more details.

Is there any reason that https://hub.docker.com/r/library/alpine/tags/ currently shows "latest" as having been updated 10 days ago, and "3.4" updated 2 months ago, when the info page ( https://hub.docker.com/r/library/alpine/ ) shows that they supposedly point to the same image?

Just saying, this is pretty confusing to end users.

[veqryn]

"edge" is also further out of date than "latest", even though edge is supposed to be more bleeding edge than 3.4, which is what latest points to.

I also see there were 2 rebuilds triggered recently to fix a security issue and an issue with busybox stuff, but neither made it into 3.4 somehow. These packages are in the docker image, so the 3.4 image should have been rebuilt.

[edit] ok, after looking at the other issue comments and the build code, I think I understand now. The base images only change occasionally and when they do a new docker image (may) be built. The alpine linux release is essentially a tagged set of packages in the repository.

Yes, this is troubling that alpine docker images seem to be missing out on what I would think are important bug fixes that have triggered new alpine linux releases but are not available in docker images. If the alpine linux releases contain no important fixes, why bother with the release. If the release is important, why not make the docker images available?

alpine 3.4.1, 3.4.2, and 3.4.3 are missing.

We've pushed the most recent images recently.
