Me too, but they seem to be for different use-cases. Tag2upload uploads things into the archive, Debusine build packages. I never had a big problem getting packages built, Salsa CI does it nicely for me, so I'm waiting for some use-case for Debusine. Doing reverse builds may be one, but I just noticed that Salsa CI added this functionality. So I'm not really sure what I would use Debusine for really. >> Btw^2, my perception is that DEP14 debian/latest is more common than >> debian/unstable, but my view is limited so this may be biased.

Interesting -- in my head I have a rule like this: 1) Use debian/latest whenever package uploads are mostly linear in that N goes to unstable, N+1, N+2 goes to experimental and N+3 goes to unstable, and that the goal of experimental uploads is to get something worthy of unstable upload. (This is very much what I'm doing for the 'nsd' package right now, but I now realize that I use debian/experimental there...) 2) Use debian/sid (or debian/unstable) AND debian/experimental (or I suppose debian/rc-buggy which I've seen some use) concurrently when development happen in two different branches over a long period of time, and when the goal is to actually be able to ship two different upstream versions concurrently. Thus one should never really use debian/latest + debian/experimental at the same time, except for exceptional cases. (And here I realize I just made this mistake for the 'nsd' package..) However the more I work with this I realize it is all just subjective and up to personal preference, which is very much biased towards what you've been exposed to. HOWEVER what I've seen is also that debian/sid is more common than debian/unstable, but I don't have statistics to back that up. /Simon
