v0.22.1rc1: Docker Update for vLLM
The latest release candidate for vLLM, version 0.22.1rc1, introduces a change in the Docker setup by removing the use of extra-index-url for the flashinfer-jit-cache. This adjustment simplifies the Docker configuration, potentially reducing dependency management issues and improving build reliability. While this update might seem minor, it reflects ongoing efforts to streamline the development process and enhance the usability of vLLM for developers. This change is particularly relevant for those maintaining Docker environments and looking for more efficient ways to manage dependencies.
