The containers are generated on Debian. In these containers, apt-get is configured for Debian archive package repositories. You can view Debian distribution archives.

Debian Wheezy and Debian Squeeze containers do not function under Microsoft WSL or Docker for Windows. It causes apt-get segmentation fault. It is a known bug.

Pull strategy

The repo branches are not merged, they live as individual branches.
