[OpenIndiana-discuss] Tasks to focus on

[Till Wegmueller]

Hey Aurelian

Nice to have you back!

We had a Maintainer meetup yesterday aswell and I am still processing 
the notes. And translating to English. (we where all German)

But in short:
I will get myself a Physical host with Hetzner with a ton of RAM and CPU 
so we can dedicate some zones and VM's to OpenIndiana building packages. 
Olaf has been working on a revised Jenkins pipeline which fully 
automates PR builds and allows to push them into seperate repos for 
testing with others. So others can just use that repo for testing and 
don't need to build. We will implement that Capability there.

We also talked about making a rustup.mk which will use jmclulows rustup 
work to bootstrap a rust compiler to build rust software and rust itself.

As we plan to eventually migrate our build and repository server onto 
that Hetzner machine, we can also look into rebuild then, as we will 
probably have to do one from scratch.

PS. would you like to be invited to the Maintainer meetup? It's on the 
thirst Wednesday every month 19:00 PM Berlin timezone.

-Till
