Building of this image no longer works about docs HOT 16 CLOSED

The place to report issues with the perl image is here: https://github.com/perl/docker-perl/issues

from docs.

I'm not sure this is an issue with the base image but I'll open an issue there too.

But it is an issue for this repo as well, as a workaround can be put in place while it is fixed upstream. Any pointers on how to build docs while this gets fixed?

Is there a prebuilt image pushed in the registry?

from docs.

Aha! I didn't realize this image even had a Dockerfile... 🙊

from docs.

The issue appears to be one with SRI's CPAN BackPAN directory. The CHECKSUMS file is missing.

from docs.

This Dockerfile works fine. It looks like the reinstallation of cpanm causes the issue. I'm running a second build now.

FROM perl:5.20

RUN cpanm [email protected]

from docs.

Or maybe the mirror. Checking both

from docs.

Looks like it's just BackPAN, not CPAN: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SR/SRI/CHECKSUMS

from docs.

@kraih Heads up that the CHECKSUMS file seems to be missing from your author directory in BackPAN.

from docs.

Ugh BackPAN, you're killing me. First we can't have SSL, now we can't have CHECKSUMS either?

from docs.

I guess it makes some sense since the CHECKSUMS file is a GPG-signed manifest of the releases and if it were on BackPAN, it might not cover all the releases there, only the current releases on CPAN.

I suppose BackPAN could maintain and sign its own CHECKSUMS, but that seems wrong.

from docs.

So it looks like we don't have an even reasonably-secure way to install older deps from CPAN. 😞

Guess we'll have to just remove the "more secure" PERL_CPANM_OPT value entirely since we need BackPAN. 😢

from docs.

That's unfortunate :/

from docs.

Thanks for the super quick response though!

@petrosagg I'm really curious what your use-case for building this image is -- we only use it ourselves for running push.pl to get descriptions up on the Hub

from docs.

We maintain a library of arm images here https://github.com/resin-io-library which get pushed here https://registry.hub.docker.com/repos/resin/. We try to follow the official images as much as possible so that the users have the least surprises and that includes having docs on them.

At the time of writing we have only ported node and buildpack-deps but we may do more in the future.
