Just a quick update on this. All indi and indi3rdparty drivers are now being built and packaged in the Copr repositories automatically. The builds are tied to merges to the repos, triggered with webhooks, and made available as soon as the build is done. For drivers, this is just a couple minutes, and for indilib it is about 7-10 minutes from the time of the merge to master.

Kstars is getting set up, but will take just a little more work. For this moment, I am monitoring git and triggering a build. This will be automated in the near future as well. Ekosdebugger, if it has changes, will also get a fresh build automatically.

All packages now have a date stamp on them, so you will know exactly how old it is, and therefore can easily trace it back to the git hash for any debugging. If anyone would like, I can also set up branch builds quite easily for testing new drivers, for example.

Please let me know if anyone sees any problems. It looks like there are about 40 installs using the new repos already, so that is great to see.

Thanks,
Jim
