It would be great if we could run the salsa-ci pipeline localy easily, in chroot via sbuild or whatever. Do not get me wrong I like the fact that we have these pipelines in salsa, it is a great plus for Debian. I Just see that the salsa-ci pipelines does not gives somethimes exacly the same result than my current sbuild + autopkgtest run locally. So I need to iterate also on salsa-ci to fix my autopkgtests. It would be great if the "quality-pipeline" could be decouple from salsa and could be run locally / salsa / what ever other infra. We have plenty of quality tools, but it is not easy to run them all in a row during the package preparation. > Besides, *you* are the centralization point when you are the only maintainer. > With a centralized code hosting, you exchange being SPOF with redundancy and > team work :p most of my packages are team maintain and I agreed that this central git repository is valuable when it comes to team works.
