Re: Debian Package Repository...

[David Chisnall]

Hi,

Having a custom VM seems like a high maintenance way of doing this.  For 
another project, we're using Azure Pipelines to generate an apt package 
repo directly from the CI pipeline.  There are pipeline actions for 
doing all of the required steps.

I'm already using Azure Pipelines for Linux and Windows CI of libobjc2, 
though I'm not building packages.  If we want package builds out of that 
flow, I'd be very happy to take a PR to add it (we'd probably want to 
only run that pipeline on releases).

David
