[Freedesktop-sdk] Status update

[Javier Jardón]

Hi,

Only a quick update of what we have been doing lately

Some effort has been spent on creating an automated script (json2bst
[1]) to convert
the current freedesktop SDK json format [2] to buildstream

We used that script to generate a first conversion of the current
freedesktop sdk
but Valentin already did an awesome work with his manual conversion,
so we decided
to merge his branch [3] and use the buildstream definitions generated
from the script
to correct possible mismatches; Merge Request's coming as we speak!

So, with current master is already possible to generate
flatpak-images, so this is
starting to look quite exciting :)

I'd say next steps are:
- Setup the CI using gitlab runners and a ostree cache server: we will
setup for x86_64, armv7 and aarch64
- Decide where to put the "oficial" artifacts
- Testing, testing, testing

Cheers,
Javier
