Summary of suggestions for improvements to the builder

[tpiperatgod]

As we mentioned in the readme, the builder project is based on gcp/buildpacks with some modifications to facilitate support for Chinese users and support for OpenFunction's functions-framework. gcp/buildpacks primarily serves GCP, so we may need to do more work on improving builder customization.

Of course, we are also considering rewriting a Builder project that will still follow the buildpacks lifecycle criteria (which drove us to find out more about the builder's improvement needs).

Feature request

We need to enable builder to support custom configuration of source code repository addresses, dependency repository addresses, etc.

User case

This would make sense in the case of using a local(or private) repository.

Agree, we should have our own builder and should have a better understanding of the buildpacks tech

Feature request

Pass through the information (package name, version number, etc.) of functions-framework via environment variables.

User case

This will decouple the builder with the functions-framework.
