Several failed attempts
The community had been experiencing issues with broken images in recent releases, which led many users to manually switch to older tags that worked. I realize now, that I should have been deleting the broken, publicly available versions. Over the last two weeks, I’ve focused on resolving these issues and have successfully deleted all broken versions from my Docker Hub repository.
Multi-architecture stacks
The latest release of the multi-architecture buildpack is built upon a multi-architecture stack created by Daniel Mikusa. This update is a significant step towards having a multi-architecture buildpack officially supported by the Paketo team. Hopefully, this multi-architecture stack gets merged into the Paketo project soon.
Next Steps
The release of the new multi-architecture buildpack marks a crucial milestone in our journey towards an officially supported Paketo buildpack. As development continues, I look forward to sharing more updates and working together to create a more efficient and seamless developer experience on ARM64 and AMD64. Full transparency, I’ve already started working on a RISC-V version as well. Feel free to reach out with any questions or suggestions as we move forward.
Simplified
I am no longer creating a separate stack, and will continue to use the multi-architecture stack that Daniel Mikusa has created. This will simplify the process of creating and maintaining the buildpack, and will allow me to focus on the buildpack itself. I’ve simplified the scripts used for building and releasing the buildpack. I’ve also removed the related GitHub actions. All of the work is being done via CircleCI.
