These scripts build docker images using a prepared rootfs in the Dockerfile.

The Dockerfile installs evolution email and supporting libraries.

Assuming the availability of corresponding rootfs.tar.gz available in ..
Build them with the build scripts.

build-it.sh
a script that takes a relase name and release data and uses 'docker build' to
generate the docker image.

create-images.sh
runs build-it.sh for each release, wheezy through bookworm, individual scripts
can be found in the single-scripts directory.

run-it.sh
a script that takes a release name and uses 'docker run' to bring up a docker
container from which to run evolution. ${PWD}/home/tonny is mounted as /home/tonny 
in the container. dbus-launch /usr/bin/evolution run from the container should
bring up an evolution window.

restore-evolution.sh WIP
it should be possible to take an evolution backup from a working evolution and
restore it in the container. This just exit 0s.

remove-images.sh
attempts to remove all docker images made by create-images.sh using 'docker rmi'

Adding a new release.
1. Add build_it.sh $RELEASE_NAME $SOURCE_DATE to:
2. create-images.sh and remove-images.sh
3. run-it.sh $RELEASE_NAME


Sequence to transfer the evolution files from evolution wheezy to evolution bullseye.

1. Copy /home/tonny to the docker directory
2. run create-images.sh
3. in sequence run run-it.sh having changed the RELEASE_NAME to wheezy through to bullseye. You should then be able to:
