Sorry for breaking the dyne/devuan builds for a while. That was really
due to GitLab.com not understanding "most recent" the way I did when
cleaning up the registry. I've patched up the mess and submitted an
issue to get GitLab's container registry cleanup policy implementation
fixed.

I've got a Docker ID and will look at getting Devuan registered as an
organization.

It's actually 60US$/10GiB/year, so at 30GiB and counting, that would
start out at 180US$/year. As those 30GiB include a lot of historical
images, I've been using timestamp tags so everything is kept, there is
something to say for a policy of what should be kept. If only to keep
storage requirements in check. I see that you only keep dyne/devuan
images for each codename so you've got six tags. My registry had 210+
tags each for devuan, devuan/slim and devuan/builder. Only that last
one shared images layer with devuan/slim.

See my other post in the thread. I'll be redoing the whole thing on
Devuan's Gitea and will try to push images to one or more of the BIG
container registries.

Guess I just became that volunteer ;-)
