----------------------------------------
Summary: Improve documentation for building/testing the release
candidate container
Key: DAFFODIL-2907
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2907
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation
Reporter: Steve Lawrence
Assignee: Steve Lawrence
Fix For: 3.8.0
The README/documentation for building the release candidate container requires
cloning the daffodil repository and making sure it is fully up to date. That's
not difficult, but it a potential source of non-reproducible builds if someone
forgets to update the repo or if there are locally made changes.
The podman build commands accepts a path to a git repo, and it will
automaticaly clone the specified branch and build from that. This ensures we
build with the latest container and without local changes.
We should also include documentation in the README for how to and build and
test local changes without publishing anything.
