Salsa CI is one of the Debian community's custom-built continuous integration tools. It's part of the Debian GitLab instance (Salsa), and helps Debian maintainers manage roughly 9,000 projects.

I was expecting a huge CICD pipeline with delivery steps automatically publishing packages for Debian Unstable and Debian Testing, but it turns out it's a relatively simple pipeline with straight-forward build and testing stages.

Less is definitely more, and targeting Debian alone does greatly simplify a pipeline, but somehow I was expecting more automation taking care of the whole workflow.
