I think the hardest part of this now would be determining what to do for --platform=all 🤣

@mattmoor Can I pick this up?

@transhapHigsn I don't think github reactions generate any notification or email, so I wanted to reply with an explicit "yes" if you are still interested in picking this up.

Using empty.Image from https://godoc.org/github.com/google/go-containerregistry/pkg/v1/empty should be a good place to start.

I think we should sort out what we want to do for multi-arch first?

Is there a way to enumerate all of the platform combination the Go toolchain supports? 😅

No mention of GOARM anywhere, so variants would be up to us. Also this is an enormous list (41 combinations) and we should probably not support everything. Would be a good use case for comma-separated --platform or we could warn if --platform=all and the base is scratch.

$ go tool dist list -json

Challenge accepted? 😅

Would love to see how you plan to test your plan9/386 container images.

@transhapHigsn I don't think github reactions generate any notification or email, so I wanted to reply with an explicit "yes" if you are still interested in picking this up.

Using empty.Image from https://godoc.org/github.com/google/go-containerregistry/pkg/v1/empty should be a good place to start.

@mattmoor Sorry, I had some problems related to notifications. Found this out today.
