(not saying you have to do this)

But i've been experimenting with including a skeleton Dockerfile in
projects to say "here are the build deps on platform X" which is then
programatically testable.

Might be worth it here too.

I like the idea of having Dockerfiles handy to aid in the process of automating builds and stuff, and providing an easy means to test on various distros. I'd like to see the dependencies and build procedures documented outside of code as well.

Thanks,
Kenneth
