I’m looking for a central place (dashboard or mailers) to stay updated on Docker base image transitions and compiler version changes in PyTorch. Docker transitions often follow upstream EOL, but is there a public forum or process to invite discussion and suggestions from the community? The only thing I found so far is an RFC touching this area.
Similarly, I’m trying to understand the cadence for compiler updates.
For example, in x86 CPU inductor performance jobs, the CI builds often run in Ubuntu Jammy containers with GCC 11.4.0, while CPU PyTorch release builds (wheels) are produced with Manylinux_2_28 and GCC 13.3. What’s the upgrade cycle for clang versions used in CI? Are there public announcements or forum posts for these transitions?
Concretely:
-
Where are Docker base image changes and compiler upgrades proposed, tracked, and communicated?
-
Is there a formal policy (or RFC) for timing/versioning of manylinux bumps, Jammy→Noble transitions, GCC/Clang upgrades, etc.?
