** THESE IMAGES ARE VERY EXPERIMENTAL; THEY ARE PROVIDED ON A BEST-EFFORT BASIS WHILE docker-library/official-images#2289⁠ IS STILL IN-PROGRESS (which is the first step towards proper multiarch images) **

** PLEASE DO NOT USE THEM FOR IMPORTANT THINGS **

This image is built from the source of the official image of the same name (rakudo-star)⁠. Please see that image's description for links to the relevant Dockerfiles.

If you are curious about specifically how this image differs, see the Jenkins Groovy DSL scripts in the tianon/jenkins-groovy GitHub repository⁠, which are responsible for creating the Jenkins jobs which build them.
