Hmm, I understand the concern but I wonder HOW the "convenience" binaries should be handled in practice.
In OpenWhisk what it matters is the runtime you specify with --docker, so that "convenience" is not really just a convenience, it is a core requirement. We could setup an openwhisk contrib repository, but I cannot image a single Travis build to be able to rebuild many images (at the moment I have at least 4) and push all of them to docker hub... -- Michele Sciabarra mich...@sciabarra.com ----- Original message ----- From: Felix Meschberger <fmesc...@adobe.com.INVALID> To: "dev@openwhisk.apache.org" <dev@openwhisk.apache.org> Subject: Re: I created a variant of the go runtime that is faster at init time Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2018 10:00:07 +0000 Hi Michele This is shaky ground and we don’t want to be the next npm horror story. Technically speaking, at Apache we primarily release source packages, all binary is pure convenience. Granted the convience today is what most people use. So what we should primarily do, as Bertrand hinted, is have a contrib repository. We can still have a contrib docker account into which the OpenWhisk PMC can regularly „dump“ binary builds for convience. But it must be clearly stated that those are not releases, have no release quality and all the usual disclaimers.
