# How to use this image
|
||||
|
||||
This stack is designed to be the foundation of a language-stack image.
|
||||
|
||||
## What's included?
|
||||
|
||||
The main tags of this image are the full batteries-included approach. With
|
||||
them, a majority of arbitrary `gem install` / `npm install` / `pip install`
|
||||
should be successfull without additional header/development packages.
|
||||
|
||||
For some language stacks, that doesn't make sense, particularly if linking to
|
||||
arbitrary external C libraries is much less common (as in Go and Java, for
|
||||
example), which is where these other smaller variants can come in handy.
|
||||
|
||||
### `curl`
|
||||
|
||||
This variant includes just the `curl`, `wget`, and `ca-certificates` packages.
|
||||
This is perfect for cases like the Java JRE, where downloading JARs is very
|
||||
common and necessary, but checking out code isn't.
|
||||
|
||||
### `scm`
|
||||
|
||||
This variant is based on `curl`, but also adds various source control management
|
||||
tools. As of this writing, the current list of included tools is `bzr`, `git`,
|
||||
`hg`, and `svn`. Intentionally missing is `cvs` due to the dwindling relevance
|
||||
it has (sorry CVS). This image is perfect for cases like the Java JDK, where
|
||||
downloading JARs is very common (hence the `curl` base still), but checking out
|
||||
code also becomes more common as well (compared to the JRE).
