CI/CD improvements #560

Description

@jhuntwork

The development and CI/CD workflow is a little janky at the moment. There's a couple of issues:

  • Larger packages that take a longer time to build (e.g., LLVM, Rust, Firefox) will time out in the current free tier of CircleCi.
  • Each commit is expected to build one package. This isn't always desirable.
  • Any solution for longer, automated builds will incur at least a momentary expense for launching cloud resources. This is fine, but then we probably want to protect against just any pull request from launching those.
  • The flow or "rolling release" strategy between pacman repositories is currently stagnant as well.

I think all of the above makes it a prime time to also tie up loose ends in #377 #378 and #384. I'll let this be the driver for moving those things along, and I will probably begin making use of the https://github.com/merelinux organization.

I have also been toying with moving to Gitlab.com (while still mirroring here, probably). Anyone have any opinions on that?
