I'm sorta working a bit on extending the devtools tooling in contrib. I don't think it replaces a proper CI build system. But it might give some inspiration for how we can resolve dependency chains and doing rebuilds. https://github.com/archlinux/contrib/blob/morten/rebuild/package/rebuildctl https://github.com/archlinux/contrib/blob/master/package/rebuild-todo I'm working a bit on joining the above tools into buildctl which should be able to resolve dependency chains, do rebuild and todo lists. Which I have some hopes can be the frontend for some CI infrastructure. Also in Python so I don't have to do more bash-golfing. For creating a CI infra I'm wondering if buildbot would allow us the flexibility we'd need to have something that works. I haven't made up my mind if using Gitlab for this is a good idea? https://buildbot.net/ Generally the people that actively work on this gather on IRC in the #archlinux-projects and #archlinux-reproducible IRC channels. There are a lot of experimentation so any contribution would be great. -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
