This is the definition of the arch-toolbox image for Arch Linux that
plays well with Toolbx.
Today, it's published at quay.io/toolbx-images/archlinux-toolbox:latest,
but the name of the published image will be changed to arch-toolbox [1]
to match the os-release(5) ID on Arch Linux. The convention of naming
the Toolbx images according to the os-release(5) ID is deeply ingrained
in the Toolbx code base. It will be better to keep things simple by
continuing that practice, instead of adding a one-off exception.
Maintenance of this image has been passed to Morten Linderud.

This partly reflects the value of the 'maintainer' LABELs of the current
images. Oliver is the original author, but he has lots of other duties
these days, and wanted me to help him co-maintain the images.
Note that the toolbox image definitions for RHEL do need a maintainer
who is a Red Hat employee. Otherwise they won't be able to actually
build and publish the images at registry.access.redhat.com.

Toolbx was conceived to address the needs of Fedora Linux. Even though
it works on host operating systems outside the Fedora family, it hasn't
treated them with the same importance as Fedora Linux and derivatives
like Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Subsequent commits will change that by
adding first-class support for host operating systems beyond the Fedora
universe. eg., Arch Linux and Ubuntu.
The current Toolbx maintainers, Ondřej Míchal and myself, are Fedora
developers and don't have the bandwidth to drive changes and track down
bugs in OSes outside the Fedora family. Therefore, maintenance of some
parts of the code base will be delegated to contributors from those
other OS communities.
This is a step in that direction by clearly specifying which part of the
code base is maintained by whom.
