On the user's list one thread about the packages took a turn into discussing building in containers [1]. This is a topic that I have had some idle conversations about with Adam King and so I figured that I would raise this to a wider audience. My thought is to use container images specifically for building ceph - and not just it's container images. The builds may continue to produce packages, but a container would be used as an abstraction between the actual OS and the build process of (do_cmake.sh, etc.). Builder images would be be available for use both by the build system (jenkins builders) as well as individual users. One advantage of this is that the user can build the packages for distros that don't match the local distro. I've also found it advantageous for my own builds to use the container to limit memory and CPU for the build. I'm curious if anyone has discussed this before. Does it interest anyone? I am willing to volunteer some time to help as well. Thanks for reading!
