I could see `erlfdb` needing a regular release cadence, but I’m willing to see what can be done to comply with the ASF regulations in a semi-automated way. The other repos we’ve been discussing are somewhat more stable, although part of the motivation for publishing packages is to drive more interest in them and that could lead to more releases. Tangentially-related question for you: one of the CI jobs for erlfdb is using a container image built from this Dockerfile: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-erlfdb/blob/main/.devcontainer/Dockerfile Should I publish that image as a tag in apache/couchdbci-debian, even though it’s basically a completely different build than the other images in there? Creating a whole new e.g. apache/erlfdbci repo for it seems like overkill, but I’m curious to hear your thoughts. Would something like this work? apache/couchdbci-debian:erlfdb-erlang-24.1.4-fdb-6.3.18 Cheers, Adam
