This stack is designed to be the foundation of a language-stack image.

|
+## What's included?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The main tags of this image are the full batteries-included approach. With
|
|
|
+them, a majority of arbitrary `gem install` / `npm install` / `pip install`
|
|
|
+should be successfull without additional header/development packages.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+For some language stacks, that doesn't make sense, particularly if linking to
|
|
|
+arbitrary external C libraries is much less common (as in Go and Java, for
|
|
|
+example), which is where these other smaller variants can come in handy.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### `curl`
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This variant includes just the `curl`, `wget`, and `ca-certificates` packages.
|
|
|
+This is perfect for cases like the Java JRE, where downloading JARs is very
|
|
|
+common and necessary, but checking out code isn't.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+### `scm`
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This variant is based on `curl`, but also adds various source control management
|
|
|
+tools. As of this writing, the current list of included tools is `bzr`, `git`,
|
|
|
+`hg`, and `svn`. Intentionally missing is `cvs` due to the dwindling relevance
|
|
|
+it has (sorry CVS). This image is perfect for cases like the Java JDK, where
|
|
|
+downloading JARs is very common (hence the `curl` base still), but checking out
|
|
|
+code also becomes more common as well (compared to the JRE).
