Please make the packaging/build pipelines public and provide reproducible builds

[bastelfreak]

Use Case

As a service delivery partner we want to engage into the development. This isn't really possible without at least read-only access to the pipelines. We don't know which jobs exist and what they do. That makes it impossible to add support for new platforms. And as we can see on the existing requests Puppet itself is quite slow for adding support for new distributions/architectures.

Describe the Solution You Would Like

use GitHub actions for supported platforms to build packages (preferred) or at least grant partners access to the Jenkins (which was public in the past).

Describe Alternatives You've Considered

While I hate it that an open source tool uses private pipelines, you could also workaround this by providing new packages faster. However I think reproducible builds are required in the future and that also requires logs.

Please god get this done already. There is really no excuse for how long the delay is from the release of an OS to the release of puppet packages.
