wishlist: easy way to pull/push manifestlist (multi-arch) images

[anguslees]

If I have an existing manifestlist (multi-arch) image, like the standard "busybox" image, it would be nice if this was easy to "republish" in its full manifestlist-form via ipdr/IPFS.

If I do a naive docker pull busybox, I only get the image relevant for my local platform. Similarly a naive docker pull busybox && ipdr push (or a combined ipdr push --docker-registry-host index.docker.io busybox) only converts one of the images in the manifestlist.

It would be neat if there was a "manifestlist-aware" process that just did the right thing. Since regular docker pull/push is weak in this area too, I suggest just skipping them and providing a one-stop ipdr migrate busybox (or whatever subcommand) that does all the required pulling+pushing in one go.

As far as I see, there has been no progress on this issue.
I would like to implement this behaviour.

@anguslees I am aware that the issue is very old. However, I still wanted to ask if you found any tool/repo/resource that solves this problem.

@akakream I am not aware of a tool that does this.
