-This Git repository contains all the necessary tools and recipes to build the packages that are published on the package repository.
-The package repository is automatically built and published every time that a commit is pushed to the Git repository, through [Github Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions).
-Since all the packages on Toltec are free software, you can also **build all of the repository’s packages from source yourself** instead of getting them from the package repository.
-The build process is fully [reproducible](https://reproducible-builds.org/), which means you can verify that the published packages have not been tampered with during the automated build process.
