It made sense as I thought you were saying you had scripts that did the
work.

Well the ball is rolling. I now (thanks to gbWilly) can build the packages.
Next is to figure the out how to make a signed online repository structure.

Then probably a server cron job that periodically checks the gitlab version
for stable and commit hash for master and auto updates if changed

Once automation scripts are complete we will hopefully have something other
people can use to set up their own repositories with a few simple clicks.

I'm thinking docker can be used as simple VMs to create packages for
different systems, I've already installed docker on my digital ocean
droplet and got a Debian image on it ready for action 😎

I just have to figure out building the repository structure.......
