A huge thank you for the massive detailed planning and successful execution - very, very much appreciated.
Hope you all celebrate lots!
Congratulations to the successful migration!
Since we from archlinux32 are basically end-to-end testing your git setup, I have two minor criticisms on the new setup / the transition (I really prefer the new setup over the old one, don't get me wrong!):
1st: It would have been nice to have some testing setup around, so we could have adapted our scripts beforehand. But maybe, the test repositories were around and I just didn't look hard enough. No heart feelings, here - our users are used to somewhat bigger latencies :-D
We had a test setup, it was posted on arch-dev-public maybe it wasn't viisble enough for archlinux32.
2nd: The mapping from pkgbase to the source repository is not clear. Most packages' repository is named exactly like the pkgbase. But when the pkgbase contains a "+", it is sometimes transcribed as "plus" (e.g. for libc++) and sometimes as "-" (e.g. for gtk2+extra). This makes automatic pulling of the needed repository unclean (we have to try several transcriptions, until one works).
Gitlab does not allow certain project names so we have a special mapping in our tooling sadly :( See these multiple sed's: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/devtools/-/blob/master/src/lib/api/gi... Good luck with getting arch32!
