I would be happy to try Mani's fix, but don't know where in the process to stop and patch the buildfarm scripts.
Are there instructions for how to accomplish that?
 
These are the steps I follow to setup a local overlay development environment for ros_buildfarm:  https://gist.github.com/mani-monaj/07646114fc275334503e

I activate this virtualenv prior to running a pre-release script.

Hi Jack,

I think Mani's fix is what you need. It's a regression we have with the latest release of docker. They got more strict with what characters they allow in tags.

As a quick fix you can probably downgrade your docker version temporariy until we can merge the patch and propagate the next ros_buildfarm release. You can also try Mani's patch from source. 

I installed the latest docker according to the wiki instructions, which state that the Trusty version is too old. Should I revert to the Trusty package, or install something different?

If something different, what version and how?
