LinuxCon+ContainerCon Europe 2016

Docker has brought an ease of use without comparison with VMs typically to build native upstream distribution packages. Where before it was needed to launch a complete environment, copy the sources into it, invoke the build tools to create the packages and then copy them back to the host, Docker has made all these steps easier and straight forward, allowing for more rapid package production and automation.

This presentation will show and demo a detailed use case for building packages for both Mageia and Fedora with their respective bm or koji tools encapsulated in Docker containers. It should help any upstream packager adopt a similar approach to make his packaging task a breathe.

Also this presentation will explain how Docker support has been added to project-builder.org in order to ease the build of upstream project packages, which is a preparation step to distribution inclusion.
