Mumbles something about some kernel projects suddenly becoming not reproducible, using broken #makefile based setups, also offering #meson, but that being broken (and leading to differing output!!), too.

I'm quite tired of these types of untested projects, without any CI. Maintainers pointing contributors to their 10 step "easy to follow" mail based workflow isn't helping either I guess 🙄

I have less and less energy packaging stuff like that.

@xexaxo Well, I work with a bunch of kernel projects and (help) package some of them in buildroot. Without knowing what David is talking about I don't know if I have maybe some input here. 🤔

So knowing what we are actually talking about seems a lot more productive than "some projects have questionable release engineering practices" IMO.

in reply to Bubu :progress_pride:

@Bubu asking in private seems reasonable IMHO.

As a person also involved in a few, that's what I did 😉
