I was looking into the Gentoo Build Service[1] project and then realized
that you already have the tools I could use for my local CI.

For instance, looking into both projects that are being used in Gentoo
Infrastructure I could create easily my own development and
infrastructure environment using third party resources.

If the repositories owner doesn't want to create the tags I could fork
them, create the releases and publish the ebuilds in my overlay.

But I believe the owner would create them and then we could have
official ebuilds... I can ask him gently if he don't mind to create tags.

Best,

Samuel
