macOS 11 is not longer an available runner on Azure Devops. The minimum is now
macOS 12. This runner does not have Python 2.7 installed, so running them
would require a custom install - which I'm declaring too much effort for too
little gain.
refs #1090
A few changes are bundled in this
- Ansible 2.10.x and Mitogen 0.3.x are used to build nearly all images
(Ansile 2.3.x is retained for CentOS 5, because it uses Python 2.4).
- Tox is used to install/run Ansible, replacing build_docker_images.py
- A static inventory, identifying containers by name rather than ID.
- debian-test image is renamed to debian9-test
- debian9-test image is now based on debian:9
- centos6-test image is now based on moreati/centos6-vault
following the same scheme as centos5-test.
- Images are now uploaded to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR).
See #809.
- Debian recommended packages aren't installed (e.g. build-essential)
- Python 2.x and Python 3.x are installed wherever available.
- Python Virtualenv is installed wherever available.
