docker.io too outdated, cannot interpret common Dockerfiles

[Hadmut Danisch]

Hi,

the docker.io version currently in trusty/14.04 seems to be too outdated, even if updated in trusty-updated.

It cannot interpret clauses quite common in todays Dockerfiles.

E.g. I tried to generate a Firefox sync server by building the Dockerfile coming with

git clone https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver

It fails, because this Dockerfile contains

ADD Makefile *.ini *.wsgi *.rst *.txt *.py /home/app/syncserver/

which is not interpreted in the expected way. Instead, the first argument (the file Makefile) is copyied into the "second" argument, i.e. the file with the Name "*.ini *.wsgi *.rst *.txt *.py /home/app/syncserver/"

In other words: It does not expand whitespace or common wildcards, it just takes everything after the first whitespace as the second parameter, which clearly violates docker's manual.

Upgrade recommended.

regards
Hadmut

This should be resolved by the proposed update of docker.io to 1.6.1 to all stable releases which I'm tracking in bug 1454719, so I'll mark this as a duplicate of that bug for now.
