I have a related question about Fedora docker packages. There seems to be a docker-engine at version 1.8.1 and docker at version 1.7.1. I'd like to have docker AND docker engine at the same version, preferably at 1.8.1. I don't mind having to get docker-compose and docker-machine via the docker website directly, but it would also be nice to get them via the normal Fedora repositories. Even though docker-machine appears to be broken for all Linux distributions that I've tried when running with a local vm (VirtualBox) rather than a cloud (AWS). docker-swarm is still considered beta, so I could see why that might not be provided via a Fedora repository.
two more questions, first a quick one -- is there a timeframe for an official fedora package release of docker 1.8? (or, if rumours are true, the rebranded docker-engine 1.8?) more generally, is there somewhere one can watch the progress of packages through their upgrading lifecycle to know what to expect?
and, second, as i mentioned earlier, i was curious as to when one could expect a "docker-compose" fedora package (and other docker-related orchestration packages), and i ran across this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1204441
so that shows pretty clearly that the current "fig" package is destined(?) for renaming, but that was back in april -- whatever happened to that?
more interestingly, i just discovered that docker-compose is available as a python pip package for fedora:
$ pip show docker-compose --- Metadata-Version: 2.0 Name: docker-compose Version: 1.4.0 Summary: Multi-container orchestration for Docker Home-page: https://www.docker.com/ Author: Docker, Inc. Author-email: UNKNOWN License: Apache License 2.0 Location: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages Requires: docker-py, six, websocket-client, PyYAML, dockerpty, texttable, requests, docopt $
but it looks pretty old. and if one does a "pip search docker", one sees quite a number of docker-related pip packages ... is that an alternative to rpm-based packaging that is going to be used for package distribution?
