Hi!

Salsa CI is a great system for all aspiring Debian packagers to test
their packages before requesting review from mentors, or for even
experienced packagers before uploading to Debian.

Anyone with a Salsa account can use it. Simply follow the README at https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline to get started and to
find the optimal settings for your specific package.

However, I wonder is it straightforward enough for everyone?

I am in the process of doing a round of updates to the README. All
feedback on how to improve the documentation so it is easy to digest
in particular for newcomers is welcome as replies to this email or as
comments at https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/merge_requests/563.

Morning Otto,

A suggestion below. I will work my way through the document over the next few days.

At the top of the document is:

Salsa CI – Quality Assurance for Debian packaging

TL;DR

This Salsa CI pipeline increases the quality of Debian packages by providing Continuous Integration that can be run on every commit on any Debian package.

change to:

Salsa Continuous Integration (CI) – Quality Assurance for Debian packaging

TL;DR

This Salsa Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline increases the quality of Debian packages by providing Continuous Integration that can be run on every commit on any Debian package.

A tweak at the head of the document to use the complete wording with acronym following it in parenthesise. This by reading it twice should solidify the new readers knowledge that CI from here in in is Continuous Integration when reading further.

Regards

Phil

I think there is no way someone can find "the README at https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline". Even if they know about
Salsa CI.

I think that the docs for salsa-ci are hard to find for someone who is
not already familiar with salsa-ci. There is still no dedicated salsa-ci
web page on the wiki, for example. The Wiki is quickly and well indexed
by the search engine while salsa itself probably is not.

Greetings
Marc

Thank you. That will be helpful to find the information.

Thanks Phil and Marc for the feedback!

I updated the intro as suggested by Marc.

I also wrote a new wiki page https://wiki.debian.org/SalsaCI. This is intentionally a minimal stub that recommends readers to see the README
in the project instead. Feel free to sprinkle links to this page
elsewhere in the wiki.

I agree with others about adding the doc itself or at least a word about its existence in the wiki. Other than that, thanks a lot for maintaining it. I remember when I found this doc in salsa, was a nice surprise. Well written and really helpful!

Bests,
