[m-users.] Mercury Docker images: current status and occasional issues

[fabrice nicol]

Linux-based Docker images with current ROTDs (all grades) and a bunch of 
tools have been automatically released since late January.

Three Linux distributions are proposed: Ubuntu 21.10, Gentoo (current 
main) and Alpine (latest):

    https://github.com/fabnicol/ubuntu4mercury/actions

    https://github.com/fabnicol/gentoo4mercury/actions

    https://github.com/fabnicol/alpine4mercury/actions

About 220 images have been released on a weekday basis so far, with a 
rate of failure of about 8 %.

Most failures are caused by mercurylang.org server rejecting a wget call.

This could probably be avoided if the webmaster would consent to adding 
calls coming from Github Actions servers to some sort of white list.

Otherwise I'll switch wget calls to Mercury Github releases, but these 
usually come out with a small lag.

Note:

DockerHub paths are:

https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/fabnicol/gentoo4mercury

https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/fabnicol/alpine4mercury

https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/fabnicol/ubuntu4mercury

(About 1,000 pulls to date, which is a bit unexpected).
