abs_cd VS dupver

Get a CI to check if pkg build in clean environments. So many users will falsely report broken packages while they simply ran makepkg in their arch installation & the build system pulls crap from it into the build process & it fails despite your pkg being fine. It's a shame every AUR helper except aurutils still doesn't support building in clean chroots, but you can't change that. I build https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd for that, which end the end served a custom repo easing the installation for users, too. There are plenty alternatives to my SW out there, too.

You can find the CD status on https://abs-cd.oscloud.info/

This commit should also be a good example on how to configure crond to work well with logging in an Arch container.

A CI/CD with webinterface for Archlinux packages which optional AUR push support if builds succeed. It's based on Django and works with Docker/Podman. I originally made it for my own AUR packages (> 300), I needed accessible build logs if I want to collab, which the common builders didn't provide. I made the project public and it's crazy for me as an open source beginner to see how many people like this. The basic features are complete, but things like multiarch are getting add soon.

It now has podman compatibility as as a PR: https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd/pull/8

It now should have podman compatibility, would be nice if you test it: https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd/pull/8

If it really takes that long (and you maybe have more than one device or your friends use the same packages) and you can't find a user already packaging it in their private repo you could host an own repo in you local network. I created a CI/CD software for Arch packages which makes this easier: https://github.com/bionade24/abs_cd

I work with a lot of uncompressed structured binary files so I finally broke down and wrote my own system based on the Restic chunker: https://github.com/akbarnes/dupver

I wound up writing dupver https://github.com/akbarnes/dupver after getting frustrated with the lack of versioning tools for binary files. One neat thing about .docx files and their ilk is that they are "just" zip files so it isn't hard to add special handling to pull out their contents and run deduplication over that.

DupVer https://github.com/akbarnes/dupver is a deduplicating version control system for large binary files. It's designed to keep state in a repository on the local machine separate from the working directory so it plays nice with cloud synchronization software.

I started it after constant headaches involving Git LFS and the corporate proxy. It's based around the Restic chunker library, with inspiration from both the Duplicacy backup software and Boar, another binary version control system for large binary files.
