abs_cd VS wcp

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 I originally made it for my own AUR packages (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

Not a question, but I made a similar tool in c++[1], for Linux only using io_uring, and a blog post explaining its internals [2]. I'll definitely have a look some time soon, I'd be interested to see how performance compares (I gathered from some other comments here that you're using blocking io in threads?)

The chart is over NFS, but the listed speeds in the blog, and on github[1] are from a copy on a local SSD. That is a bit confusing though, maybe I should make it more clear. I used the network copy for ETA calculation because it was an easy way to make the transfer take longer -.if the whole copy is only a few seconds long it's difficult to meaningfully compare ETA estimation accuracy between two approaches. I would like to have more performance data though.

Unix cp, but with a proper progress bar, and much faster:

Getting close now but not ready for real use. io_uring is awesome.
