README should mention how to use the current (or earlier) version

Details

I'm trying to revive an old project (that used 0.9.22 (!)). I see the README advises use of FROM phusion/baseimage:<VERSION> I couldn't figure out what version number to use (using latest didn't seem to work).

The README should have a Current Status section that lists the current version that displays the exact FROM ... to use and a pointer to the list of earlier "production" versions?

Many thanks.

Sorry but I'm gonna mark this as won't fix. I don't believe we should be holding the users hand in figuring this one out.

@samip5 Hmmm... I don't think of it as "handholding". It's more like saving each potential new person five minutes... But that's besides the point. I spent the five minutes, and would offer the following for the README:

---

Current Status

The current version of the image is always available from the Releases on the home page. To use that image, use docker pull phusion/baseimage:release where release is the name shown at the top of the page.

---

Advantages:

• It answers the most common question: how do I use this?
• It doesn't require maintenance - all the work goes into updating the Release page (which you do anyway)
