Description

It would be nice to have some "NEWS" file saying what feature was added
and when. Similar for bugfixes. So far, we never incremented the version of image,
and the image had only the version of the base component (e.g. 9.6, then we
switched to version=1).

  • the NEWS file should be available in git root directory
  • but also added to /NEWS path, so anyone can do docker run ... cat /NEWS
  • the version of the container should be printed out by usage
  • I'm not sure we need docker tag here
  • major version should be incremented if some incompatible change is done
  • minor version should be incremented right after release (every 6 weeks so far)
  • we should tag git commit before any version change
