[GNC-dev] Building debian files within Docker

[Dale Phurrough]

Good news :-) Next? I recommend the setup and quick start at
https://github.com/diablodale/gnucash-dev-docker
If you encounter problems following that, please do loop me in. I want to
fix it/be more clear while balancing with brevity.

Yes, the build/test containers are themselves many distros of Linux.
They've been building and testing 3 branches of Gnucash on 14 of the major
distros for two months https://diablodale.github.io/gnucash-dev-docker/
You can click on any of the badges to see the log of the build and test
process for that specific distro/branch.
The docker-compose in the git repo has all the distros you mention except
for cosmic (18.10).
Probably trivial to add cosmic. Edit docker-compose.yml, make a copy of the
19.04 section that is already in there to make a new section for 18.10
while changing the four occurrences in that new section from "19.04" to
"18.10"

Happy hacking!
