Recent work has brought docker.io, the Docker package provided by Debian, back to life. After the package was uploaded to Debian Unstable earlier this month, it quickly moved to Debian Testing, marking the first time in two years that docker.io has migrated to “testing”. This is great news for Debian users, as previously the package was more or less abandoned, and its future was uncertain.
