# How to update a build image

1. Prepare the necessary patch. Should include:
   - Updates to the images/ directory, including adding the new version,
     removing any obsolete versions, and updating any symlinks
   - Updating contrib/crontab
2. Prepare a patch for sr.ht-docs:builds.sr.ht/compatibility.md
3. Submit a test build based on your image's build.yml which proves that your
   change works

Then send these patches upstream to sr.ht-dev. Include a link to the successful
image build and instructions on how to deploy it (usually this is as simple as
submitting the build.yml with the appropriate version number put in).
