# Salsa leaving beta It was a wild ride since we went live with salsa.debian.org in december. We are really satisfied with salsa, gitlab and our setup. After one month we already have round about 6300 projects, 2400 users and 200 groups. Our gitlab runners processed 1500 builds and our users created 850 merge requests. And we also had to apply multiple upgrades to our gitlab installation, all of which went flawless. We are therefore happy to announce that salsa has left beta today. While we still have various things to improve, we nevertheless think it is ready for productive usage. # Pages support The gitlab pages[1] feature is now ready to be used on salsa. You may notice that the SSL certificate is currently invalid for *.pages.debian.net -- this will change as soon as the wildcard support for letsencrypt certifactes goes live (scheduled end of february [2]). Note that own domain names for pages are not supported. # What to host on salsa We had a few questions if upstream or external projects are allowed to use salsa. The answer is simple: As long as it is opensource and/or can be included in Debian, it is fine to use salsa. If in doubt, ask. # Salsa documentation, Alioth rewriter Multiple people (thank you all) maintain a wiki[3] page with useful details around salsa, including the namespace concepts, email/irc notifications and alioth migration tips. After a successful migration, you may want to check the AliothRewriter[4] project and submit a merge request, to redirect your old anonscm urls over to salsa. # How to reach us If you have questions around salsa, how to best (not) setup your project or group or which drink we like most, feel free to join us on irc.oftc.net, #alioth. You can also open an issue in our support tracker[5]. If you are interested in how we run this setup, feel free to take a look at the various repositories in our group[6].
