Packaging Practices needs a section / subpage on rebuilds

[TraceyC77]

We need a doc on the procedure to do rebuilds

[TraceyC77]

From ermo, the general procedure:

• Ensure you built the lua interpreter with go-task localcp so it gets copied into your (otherwise empty!) local repo (you can also just copy the lua eopkg artefacts there manually and do a go-task localindex to reindex the local repo manually with the lua eopkgs in there)
• Run eopkg info lua, look for 'Reverse Dependencies' and copy those.
• Clone and install https://github.com/GZGavinZhao/autobuild/ to your local system in a dir in your $PATH
• Run autobuild query src:<your-solus-packages-dir> <your copied list of lua reverse dependencies> and capture that output (this ensures that packages are built in the correct order in terms of internal dependencies between the packages listed)
• Create a lua-<version>-rebuilds git branch, then bump, build and commit the dependencies in the exact order suggested by autobuild above
• Create a PR and then build it with the relevant go-task command in the infrastructure-tooling/ Taskfile (go-t infra:build-pr -- <the pr number>)

Re: where to clone - previously I had it in this directory, due to some past chat / instructions. The README in the repo seems to support this assumption


~/packaging/packages/autobuild

We have packagers asking questions about this in Matrix now.
