build to a spool and copy/rsync that to a the deployment location -
preferably a remote mirror. Remember it the keyring it is signed with
needs to be in devuan-keyring.

They are all there:

https://git.devuan.org/devuan-infrastructure/jenkins-debian-glue (needs
to be moved to devuan-packages). - this provides the glue logic to make
jenkins build debian packages.

https://git.devuan.org/devuan-infrastructure/devuan-releasebot
- provides the glue between gitlab and jenkins.

Devuan-releasebot needs:
- to become aware of a distribution option that maps the group and/or
branch names to determine the repository the built packages are sent to.
- to become smarter about architectures - this means the architecture
is determined from the control file during the source stage. We could
then re-use the arch label to select a subset of the possible
architectures to build for - either for triggering a build of previously
failed build on a specific architecture
- to handle staged builds so we can bootstrap, cross build to new
architectures, kernels and libc variants.

you can recognise it by the Path: field in the Packages and Sources
files which will have DEVUAN or DEBIAN in them.

We should discuss this...
