Move jenkinsx docker image to multi-arch

[Bruno Verachten]

Hi there,

As I was experimenting with the jenkinsci/packaging process, I tried it on an aarch64 machine I have access to.
Unfortunately, the image is not multi-arch, so that didn't work.
I'd like to move it to multi-arch, but the jenkins-infra/docker-packaging depends on jenkinsx, which is not multi-arch:

docker run -it ghcr.io/jenkins-x/jx-release-version:latest
WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested

The other dependency is jenkins/inbound-agent which is already multi-arch.

So before proposing a contribution to move jenkins-infra/docker-packaging to multi-arch, I will have to make a contribution to jenkinsx.
I'm not sure though that this is the correct repository to start with, can someone point me to the right one please?

Thanks in advance,
Bruno Verachten

jx-release-version is one tool initially developed for Jenkins X, but it's independent from it.

The repo https://github.com/jenkins-x/jx you linked at the end was for the initial version of Jenkins X, which regrouped all tools in one binary.

For the following version, all tools have been decoupled from this single executable as it was difficult to maintain and make change to one part or the other of jx without impacting the others.

(At least it's what I've understood from jx history, correct me if I'm wrong)

The corresponding repository for jx-release-version is this one: https://github.com/jenkins-x-plugins/jx-release-version/releases

Could you try the arm version of the binary released there?

Thank you so much for this detailed information, Hervé.
I tried the binary on my aarch64 machine for the jenkins packaging repo, and it gave me 2.176.2.
So it looks like it's working on aarch64.
