Poem

A Dockerfile tweak, so small and neat,
A hash replaced for nixl’s seat.
The build will pull a fresher vine,
With every byte, the code aligns.
Hop, hop, hooray for hashes new—
The rabbit’s work is nearly through! 🐇✨

82-82: Action Required: Confirm v0.4.1 tag existence and commit match

It looks like the remote tag v0.4.1 could not be resolved to any commit, so we can’t verify that it points to the pinned hash. Before merging:

• container/Dockerfile.vllm:82
  • Ensure the GitHub repo at https://github.com/ai-dynamo/nixl.git has a v0.4.1 tag.
  • Verify that this tag (annotated or lightweight) dereferences to commit fab120d8486ede919862033b8a6bfec81ef8f568.
  • If the tag is missing or points elsewhere, either update the NIXL_REF to the correct commit or create/move the v0.4.1 tag accordingly.
• Update any docs, CI cache keys, or release notes still referencing the old commit.
