Re: Please check Salsa CI before your next upload (Re: debian/watch version 5)

Hi!

I would also like to remind people who do not yet have a habit of
doing it to start checking the Salsa CI status of your package before
uploading it. It can be seen in Salsa itself, via command-line tools
and from the UDD and QA dashboards.

***
debian/watch thread:
 Could you please stop pushing directly on 'main' in
 https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts and instead publish Merge
 Requests?

 It would help avoid unnecessary mistakes from getting into the
 repository and perhaps be more collaborative in spirit.

 I think that so long as devscripts is in the debian/ group on salsa,
 it's up to individual contributors to choose their workflow.

If you do not want to use Merge Requests despite other people in the
same project do, can you please consider at least adopting a workflow
that you check if Salsa CI passed before you upload?

Looking at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts/-/commits/main
seems Yadd's commit 2f5cacf4 broke CI, which shows the autopkgtest
failure:

autopkgtest [22:26:30]: test metacpan: [-----------------------
# Test: simple_test

In https://ci.debian.net/packages/d/devscripts/testing/amd64/63279888/
we have now the same issue, and this package won't migrate to testing
and any other package that interacts with devscripts will have
autopkgtest failing and not migrating to testing either until it is
fixed:
