this third rewrite is awesome, thanks!

using it already on two machines, no flaws!

I think as a first step we need to make sure all the current scripts
that are running on jenkins are versioned into a git repository. I am
not sure that is the case. Both me and Centurion have access to
ci.devuan.org to check this.

devs here may already be aware of the DECODE project, whose
development also converges into Devuan and pays some of us.

in DECODE the schedule is to have a first "DECODE OS" release by end
of august (which will be based on Devuan) so indeed we shall start
quick as it is ideal to have also DECODE custom packages built on our
CI. We may do without and present a single build made with the SDK,
but its really worth trying to unlock the development on the CI and go
forward also for MAEMO I guess.

So, good call.

here are the relevant packages in git so far

https://git.devuan.org/devuan-infrastructure/devuan-releasebot

https://git.devuan.org/devuan-infrastructure/jenkins-debian-glue

on the other end there is amprolla and I guess some way to recognise
the +devuan versioning on packages, which may have more strings
attached then for specific builds.

we need to review the above two packages and also make a coherent plan
to handle a +package-version namespace between jenkins and amprolla
