Although, compiled binaries are being provided in releases at https://github.com/tonistiigi/binfmt/releases

Still opening this issue for creating an OS-specific package.

If possible, can we release OS-specific packages of "binfmt" with all qemu patches which can be installed or uninstalled through os-specific package managers instead of installing and installing from a container?

As, while automating or building a container image it is not possible to run "docker run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --install all" in the image build process.

Discussed at containerd/nerdctl#1321

An alternative, to this, was proposed at containerd/nerdctl#1322 but using upstream packages.

From there this need came as "The upstream QEMU lacks patches".

So, This can be fixed by:

  1. Upstreaming patches, so they get into upstream QEMU packages of every OS

or,

  1. Release OS-specific packages from this repo, so those can be installed directly instead of running a container and installing from the container.
