5.2 images and 5.3 nightlies

[MaxDesiatov]

I don't know how hard would it be to provide 5.2 images, and definitely I wouldn't expect 5.3 nightlies to be uploaded regularly, but at least it would make sense to maintain a Dockerfile for 5.3 if possible, similarly to what upstream does here.

Thanks @MaxDesiatov! I'd love to provide Swift 5.2 images, but I've been waiting on ARMv6 and ARMv7 binaries from buildSwiftOnARM .

I could release Swift 5.2 images for aarch64 using swift-arm64, but I've traditionally tried to keep the images in sync for the various architectures.

It may be time to reconsider that approach since swift-arm64 already has a 5.2.4 release and 5.3 snapshots.

Are you looking for a specific architecture?

Also – it sounds like Umberto is going to be trying to get 5.2 building for ARMv6 / ARMv7 soon: https://swift-arm.slack.com/archives/C14667C8M/p1590523080080100

Thank you for the clarification, I'm not looking for a specific architecture, was just curious about the status of the project. A friend asked me about using Swift on RPi and I've obviously recommended swift-balena, but wasn't sure if/when it was going to be updated for 5.2/5.3.

I'll keep an eye on the progress for ARMv6 / ARMv7 over the next week or two.

If there isn't a Swift 5.2 release available soon, I'll probably do a Swift 5.2 release for aarch64 only.
