Overview of CircleCI's pilot project for revamped/improved convenience images

cimg-overview's Issues

Note that we don't update old tags

It should be clear in this repo, as well as the readmes for each image, that we don't go back to old Docker tags to update them for never software releases. That would go against the stability/determinism ethos that next-gen images have.

Circleci

Document upcoming cimg-shared work

Once CircleCI-Public/cimg-shared#17 is merged, document the changes in this repo.

Better Testing

• run an image after its created
• testing Docker Hub namespace so that we don't have to use cimg

Update to Ruby 2.7.3

Overview

Ruby 2.7.3 was released yesterday and I'm trying to upgrade our builds to support Ruby 2.7.3 but not finding any support for 2.7.3 within your cimg namespace.

Steps to Recreate

Try adding the following your Circle CI configuration YAML:

 - image: cimg/ruby:2.7.3-browsers

You'll then see the following build failure:

image cache not found on this host, downloading cimg/ruby:2.7.3-browsers

Desired Behavior

It would nice to see Ruby 2.7.3 supported. It seems that 2.7.3 is supported within the circleci namespace on Docker Hub, though but am not able to switch to that image because it breaks our PostgreSQL install.

Incorporate the philosophy of when to add software to our images

This discussion from cimg/base (CircleCI-Public/cimg-base#60) should be incorporated as documentation in this repository.
