Dockerfiles for lucid, precise, and saucy

[stuartpb]

Upstream provides packages for each of these:

• http://download.rethinkdb.com/apt/pool/lucid/main/r/rethinkdb/
• http://download.rethinkdb.com/apt/pool/precise/main/r/rethinkdb/
• http://download.rethinkdb.com/apt/pool/saucy/main/r/rethinkdb/

It wouldn't be too tough to make Dockerfiles to install each of these, but since there's no tags for these versions in the official registry, it's kind of a moot point.

[stuartpb]

Actually, Precise does have an upstream tag: https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu/

@stuartpb can I close this issue? I believe this is not needed anymore since those distros have no support.

[stuartpb]

IMO, if a distro isn't supported, then it shouldn't be hosted under https://download.rethinkdb.com/apt/pool/

[gabor-boros]

@stuartpb you are right. @srh what do you think if we remove the unsupported distros from the download server?

[srh]

Why would we do that?

[srh]

Why?

[gabor-boros]

@srh, @stuartpb I had some time to think about this. As I can see, we should host the older binaries somewhere anyway as an "archive". For this repository, I would only keep those dockerfiles which are supported. Since the download server contains every package, anyone can have a dockerfile for an older RethinkDB version.

To conclude this, what if we:

• removing the older dockerfiles from here (to keep this repo clean)
• keeping all the packages on the download server
• closing this issue

What is your opinion?

[srh]

I'm not a user of the docker files, so I don't have any opinion on that.
