If you're a *maintainer* or aspiring maintainer, you should read [MAINTAINERS](../MAINTAINERS). If you're a *packager* or aspiring packager, you should read [PACKAGERS.md](./PACKAGERS.md). If you're a maintainer in charge of a *release*, you should read [RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md](./RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md). ## Roadmap A high-level roadmap is available at [ROADMAP.md](../ROADMAP.md). ## Build tools [hack/make.sh](../hack/make.sh) is the primary build tool for docker. It is used for compiling the official binary, running the test suite, and pushing releases.
