v4.0.0 Improved Podman and RPM build support

DUE 4.0.0 Release

This version improves the user experience so that it should be the same regardless of:

• Host system (Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, SUSE )
• Container manager (Docker or Podman)
• Building packages (RPM or .deb)
• Architecture (host or emulated via QEMU)

To do this, a number of idiosyncrasies in various environments had to be addressed, but the end result is that things should work the same way regardless of the install. So whether you are building Bookworm .debs from a Fedora 36 system using Podman or building SUSE rpms from Ubuntu 22.04 the workflow should be the same.

See the Release Notes for more details.

v3.1.0

The version bump is warranted by a number of fixes for Podman
compatibility, with the biggest improvement being that the user's account
wasn't properly created in the container, so their home
directory was not writeable, which rather defeats the whole point of running DUE.

Additionally, fixes were added for RedHat Docker image compatibility,
in that the version of 'adduser' in Fedora 33 does not support the
same arguments as the version of 'adduser' in Debian.
Sp while DUE would allow running Debian containers on a Red Hat system,
running Red Hat containers would fail on user account creation in the container.

I suspect these sorts of compatibility issues will come up again,
so this may provide a useful template for handling them.

v2.3.0 Red Hat Image support

Support for using Red Hat based images with DUE

The prior release had DUE able to run Debian based images on a Red Hat system.

This release supports creating DUE containers from Red Hat images, so that the user
can retain their identity in the container. So far it has only been tested with the 'example'
template, and support for this should be considered 'alpha' as it 'works fine for me' but
your mileage may vary.

v2.2.0

This version can install ( via 'make install' on the master branch ) on a Red Hat system, and run Debian based containers there. Note that support for creating Red Hat based images is NOT present yet as there are quite a few runtime differences between it and Debian.

This release also involved making the 'master' branch Makefile a bit more robust, and updating the README files.

v2.1.0

Version 2.1.0 changes:

• debian-package: duebuild now builds just binaries by default, not source and binaries.
• debian-package: fixed incorrect examples in help-examples.
• debian-package: --use-local-repo now usues due-manage-local-repo.sh.
• debian-package: added due-manage-local-repo.sh to let the user add/remove local packages.
• debian-package: README.md - updated with due-manage-local-repo.sh documentation.
• debian-package: duebuild - better error handling on dependency install fails.
• common-templates: c-add-docker-user script will add user to docker group, if it exists.
• onie: Initial support for a Debian 10 build environment
