-The `debian:latest` tag will always point the latest stable release (which is, at the time of this writing, `debian:jessie`). Stable releases are also tagged with their version (ie, `debian:8` is an alias for `debian:jessie`, `debian:7` is an alias for `debian:wheezy`, etc).

The mirror of choice for these images is [the deb.debian.org CDN pointer/redirector](https://deb.debian.org) so that it's as reliable as possible for the largest subset of users (and is also the default mirror for `debootstrap` as of [2016-10-20](https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/debootstrap.git/commit/?id=9e8bc60ad1ccf3a25ce7890526b70059f3e770de)). See the [deb.debian.org homepage](https://deb.debian.org) for more information.

These tags are an experiment in providing a slimmer base (removing some extra files that are normally not necessary within containers, such as man pages and documentation), and are definitely subject to change.

## How It's Made
|
|
|
|
|
|
-If you are curious about what goes into creating this image, please see [`contrib/mkimage.sh` in `github.com/docker/docker`](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/contrib/mkimage.sh) (and [`contrib/mkimage/debootstrap` in the same repo](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/contrib/mkimage/debootstrap)). Those are invoked by [`update.sh` in the image repository](https://github.com/tianon/docker-brew-debian/blob/master/update.sh), which provides some additional functionality such as generating `<suite>-backports` contents and repacking the generated tarballs for the `<suite>-slim` variants.
|
|
|
+The rootfs tarballs for this image are built using [the reproducible-Debian-rootfs tool, `debuerreotype`](https://github.com/debuerreotype/debuerreotype), with an explicit goal being that they are transparent and reproducible. Using the same toolchain, it should be possible to regenerate (clean-room!) the same tarballs used for building the official Debian images.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Additional interesting information is provided in files on the [relevant `dist` branch](https://github.com/tianon/docker-brew-debian/branches) of the image repository, namely the exact command used to build (`SUITE/build-command.txt`), a full log of the build itself (`SUITE/build.log`), and the "build manifest" (`SUITE/build.manifest`, which lists the version numbers of all the packages included in the rootfs tarball).
|
|
|
+Additionally, the scripts in [%%GITHUB-REPO%%](%%GITHUB-REPO%%) are used to create each tag's `Dockerfile` and collect architecture-specific tarballs into a single place (for placement into [`dist-ARCH` branches on the same repository](%%GITHUB-REPO%%/branches), which also contain extra metadata about the artifacts included in each build, such as explicit package versions).
