Please remember to drop releases about docker-nagios HOT 6 OPEN

Just to clarify, on GitHub I mean ..

from docker-nagios.

I actually switched to branches for this, Branches mean that if there's a problem it can be fixed, but perhaps creating a tag/release at that branch is a good way of doing it.

yep :) branches and tags/releases are complementary 👍

from docker-nagios.

Anyway .. I think you are adopting a too expensive model to handle the code

My suggestion is to have only a few branches (master, version X, version Y) in which you do:

• development
• maintain X.x.x releases
• maintain Y.y.y releases

You can add (only if and when requested) additional X.Z.z branches . in case you want to support that particular minor release releasing patches for it but, in general you would only maintain a few main branches, tagging on it the releases.

Everytime you release a new patch (in the semver meaning) you drop a new release (tagging it)

example:

• master -> development of the latest features
• branch 4.x -> stable branch for version 4.x.x (it requires php 7.x)
• branche 3.x -> stable branch for version 3.x.x (it requires and supports php 5.x)

Hope to had been clear .. hope to not be boring or annoying too ;)

You are probably right, The reason for having docker hub builds of the version (as either a branch or a tag) was for the users that don't want to upgrade to the latest version all the time "just in case".

I probably won't ever maintain a Nagios3, the reason I created this image was that everything I found at the time was either Nagios3 or didn't really work, But I will probably continue to maintain "the latest nagios4" when Nagios 5 drops, at least for a while.

Overall, it doesn't actually take a lot of maintenance, Both dockerhub and Travis build when I commit and tell me when I'm being a muppet, and I generally build and deploy to a test environment before committing to master.

I haven't committed to any of versioned branches for a while, I can probably just create tags for those now, and as you say, maintain a 4.x branch instead.

Thanks for your input.
