improve reproducible build architecture for Spoon

[monperrus]

as part of the release pipeline, we should:

• automatically PR to https://github.com/jvm-repo-rebuild/reproducible-central/
• push the buildspec file to Maven Central

no worries for Reproducible Central: I have automation that makes it easy to update without the help of projects
see https://github.com/jvm-repo-rebuild/reproducible-central/blob/master/doc/add.md for details, if you are interested

at spoon level, what I really need is either no beta to Maven Central, or if you want to publich to Maven Central, publish a git tag as you do with releases: see https://github.com/jvm-repo-rebuild/reproducible-central/blob/master/content/fr/inria/gforge/spoon/spoon-core/README.md

on rebuilding when something is published, I manage, no worry

publish a git tag as you do with releases

I have tried it here #5530. Just need a reviewer to look at it.

@hboutemy Spoon also publishes the git tag for beta releases https://github.com/INRIA/spoon/releases/tag/v11.0.1-beta-17 onwards. 🎉

@monperrus both of the tasks in the issue description is taken care by reproducible-central. we can close this issue.

[hboutemy]

@algomaster99 really nice: 11.0.1-beta-17 now confirmed reproducible https://github.com/jvm-repo-rebuild/reproducible-central/blob/master/content/fr/inria/gforge/spoon/spoon-core/README.md (buildspec published, README will be updated tonight) 🎉

that's great progress.

what do you think of pushing the buildinfo file to Maven Central directly, with each staging?

We can do it for the sake of good practice. @hboutemy will this help you in any way?

[hboutemy]

this won't really help
in addition, rebuilding is valuable when done by a third party

don't worry, rebuilding is not really complex, I have all necessary helpers
