Summary:
"""
This RFC proposes a first vertical slice of a build service to
streamline rebuilding packages with many reverse dependencies. It
tackles problems like repetitive manual work, blocking staging
repositories, missed reverse dependencies and lack of shared context,
like build logs. Goals include automating rebuilds and build ordering,
enabling unattended builds, and providing isolated repos for parallel
work. Builds run in secure virtual machines via a GitLab executor,
organized into namespaces with histories and automatic dependency
graphs. Interaction happens through CLI (pkgctl) and a web UI with SSO.
