SPI follow-up
We sent SPI a reminder.
Custom GitLab executor for arch-boxes/archiso
arch-boxes and archiso currently runs the build inside a TCG accelerated qemu VM. It works but it is slow and adds unnecessary complexity to both projects.
With this MR I want to add a custom executor which would allow us to run the jobs inside a real KVM accelerated VM. It would make the builds faster and remove complexity from both arch-boxes and archiso (and add some complexity to the infra).
Actionables
- Make a new repository where the build scripts for running qemu with TCG in docker are stored. And defer adding a MV based runner for now.
AURWeb
- Automation question from lukas
Actionables
Add a script which is called by a gitlab CI on {aur,aur-dev}.archlinux.org which deploys the AUR from git. An example PR was made to aurweb, but we don't want the script to be in the AUR as then it could potentially be "attacker" controlled.
