Trigger the creation of new images automatically

Need to come up with a reasonable workflow for this

• what is the criteria for triggering a new build?
• should we have both a latest build (possibly unstable) based on the head of the default branch and and a stable build?
• we should make sure that we tag the repository for the stable build so that it is reproducible.

Also need to create some documentation:

• External docs for users to know what to expect
• Internal docs on image creation process, etc.

The reason for the errors is that there is no build-time UID in the autobuild environment, so this issue depends on fixing 55 (osrf/vmrc#55)

In addition to the issue above, it looks like the build configuration settings may need to change. I don't think I have permission to access the build settings in the automated build Carlos created on the OSRF DockerHub page. Carlos, do you think you could grant me access?

You should have admin access to the osrv/vmrc repository on DockerHub.

Looks like I now have access. Thanks!

I've changed the configuration. Automated builds will now be triggered when a new version tag matching the regex /^[0-9.]+$/ is applied in bitbucket. Once triggered, both the non-nvidia and nvidia versions will be built and tagged with the corresponding version number. For example, release-3.2.0 for the non-Nvidia version and nvidia-3.2.0 for the Nvidia version. At the same time, the "current" and "nvidia-current" tags should be updated to point to the last tagged release.

Since the above options will always be available, we might want to also add "devel" and "nvidia-devel" tags that build on every single push. There is no cost to us to doing this, and it means people who want the absolute latest version can pull it directly from DockerHub. Thoughts?

Sounds good to me.

• changed state from "new" to "resolved"

Since we are now triggering creating of new images automatically, I'm marking this resolved. We can open a new issue if there is a new to add a "devel" image.
