I'm posting this message as a way to gauge interest in the project and
to see if it is worth moving forward with. There are probably hundreds
of CI/CD tools out there and many more general devops tools but what I
want to build is a CI/CD tool that ONLY supports Python 3.6 or greater
and only runs on one Linux distribution (my preference is Ubuntu). This
way configuration would be much more simple than the vast majority of
devops tools which try to support every programming language that is
popular (or so it seems) on many different Linux distributions and even
Windows and macOS.
My theory is that if you limit the devops tool to a very limited
subsection of the available options the system will be easier to
configure for users, more stable, easier to patch bugs in and generally
just be a better all around things for Python developers.
I'd love to hear some feedback on the idea.
I think your reasoning is sound. I probably wouldn't make a lot of use
of it, but I live in Embedded Systems land where it's notoriously hard
to do CI off the target silicon. Other people living in more tractable
problem spaces will probably be more enthusiastic.
