FWIW, I have rewritten the buildd side in Python
(https://salsa.debian.org/pkern/pybuildd) and am currently waiting for that to be deployed. There were concerns about how DSA wanted this to be packaged
(essentially not at all). Replacing the buildd side with something
relatively simple to understand is somewhat a prerequisite to change the
wanna-build side...

Thanks for taking the time to rewrite that part. Is it ready for
production? Has it been tested?

Has it been tested? Well, lightly. Unfortunately I'm not really allowed to touch the buildds as root so it's kinda hard to replace the existing ones given that stuff is enforced by Puppet. So I did a few builds on zemlinsky. Should it be tested on one or two? Yes. In theory it should work. :)

Sorry I missed those concerns, could you expand on them or link to discussion?

I mostly worked on this with Aurelien and the concern seems to have been that DSA would prefer user-based services with linger rather than packages.

Kind regards
