@raffomania This is indeed something @klausenbusk and I have been looking and working on. Currently we have a POC that is already able to automatically open (and close) issues for this.
The specifications for this POC are available here.
Turning those issues into actual MRs (including updated $pkgver and checksums) is also something we are looking for at some point with that POC. pkgctl version upgrade can be used to apply the necessary changes, we would then just need to adapt the script to open a MR instead of an issue I guess.
I remain available if you want to exchange on the subject and I'll be glad providing any help I'm capable of providing
Thanks Robin! I see you've already poured lots of time and thought into this topic. Currently we're working on other topics, but I'm glad that we already have this issue to gather information. I'm sure we'll get back to you on this in time!
