KDEs CI and CD Infrastructure
summary
Migration from Jenkins to GitLab finishes this year and the CI now runs every build in clean ephemeral Docker containers across Linux, Windows, FreeBSD and Android using GitLab templates stored in gitlab-ci.yml plus a CI Utilities repo. CD produces AppImage, DMG (with notarization), APK/AAB and store uploads, and uses Craft binary cache to cut package builds from days to minutes. Seed jobs rebuild whole branches, signing uses KDE keys, and a current bottleneck is one Apple machine for macOS jobs.
