I wrote how to get the repo structure in another thread.
A step by step, just follow it, this is the easiest part.

Have you thought about recipe additions/changes that occur.
Today I made a recipe for 3.19.90. I used 3.19.5 recipe but had to add mongodb install file and some info/dependency for mongodb in control file.
With the 3.19.5 recipe mongodb will never get made!!
And future gambas version will most probably need additions/modifications to the recipe.

I use VM's on my local system and figured out a lot already. It should be doable, I just don' t want to get involved in docker shit but use QEMU. Big advatage is that is supports arm64/armhf simulation
