=A0There will soon be a spate of emails fro= m AlpineBuildBot regarding the building of various modules. I have develope= d a script, intended to be run at regular intervals, which goes through the= aports tree and builds all packages. The current run has failures and the = build logs from them are being mailed to the maintainers, as well as to the= list. Many of the failures are due to missing source archives. At present,= the distfiles mirror (distfiles.alpinelinux.org/distfiles) is quite out = of date. If the primary source goes offline we have no archived copy of it.= There a two remedies to this: either make sure that the source tarball is = on the distfiles mirror, or update the package to the current release. If t= he latter course is taken, the source tarball still need to find its way on= to the distfiles mirror to preserve it for future builds.

At one point I had the build down to just two failing packages. Now it'= s up to 30 in main and 8 in testing. I am available to work with the mainta= iners to get the builds working. Sometimes it's a matter of missing dep= endencies in the APKBUILD script, that don't show up because the packag= es are installed on the maintainers system. Others are due to mutually excl= usive packages. For example, libiconv is remarkably 'sticky' and on= ce installed for a build sometimes fails to uninstall.

My goal is to make it so that it is easy to setup a build server, point it = at the git repository, and build all the packages for edge or a given relea= se. I'm not there yet, but getting closer. In harmony with Nataneal'= ;s earlier email, this would fit well with the proposed team structure, and= provide some redundancy to the build and release process. This periodic to= tal build would belong to the 'stable maintainers' sub-team of the = developers team, while the total build is a useful step as part of the rele= ase process.
