[CentOS-devel] updating the official Docker image for CentOS

[Karanbir Singh]

hi

The Docker folks host an image for CentOS Linux 6 here :
https://index.docker.io/_/centos/ - looking to upgrade this image, and
to take ownership of that account ( for the CCIS ) I've built an image,
which is in line with the existing image they host, but has been updated
to include content released via mirror.centos.org to today.

http://cloud.centos.org/centos/6/devel/CentOS-6-20140411-x86_64-docker_01.img.tar.bz2
is the image

please test

worth noting that this is represented as CentOS-6, dropping the point
release and replacing it with a date - means we can update it more
frequently than only at every point release time ( and we set user
expectation around that ). We can, if there is a need, still push images
that are in line with a point release snapshot.

Unless there is reason not to, Jim and I will start working towards
replacing that docker official centos image with his one in the next 24 hrs.

regards
