If the OS distro base image changes, we'll never pick it up with that
kind of filtering. For the main gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu you
could configure a nightly/weekly/whatever job to force rebuild on a
periodic basis to pick up base image changes. The downside of this
is that any users who fork qemu won't have that periodic job and so
will be testing their work against potentially outdated content.
Having said all that, I'm not 100% convinced I'm actually picking
up changed base images right now anyway, given our use of caching.
It is possible that I would need todo an explict "docker pull" of
the base image to force it to trigger a refresh othrewise I have
a feeling we're always cached.
Regards,
Daniel
