TL;DR: I'd feel a lot more comfortable if a couple of people would explicitly review wether I correctly captured the discussion in the summary. So, we've received a number of comments on aspects of the discussion. That plus the original discussion leads me to believe we really are interested in

This all looks very good. Presumably the repository / Salsa project name should match the source package name? If so, that might be good to note, at least as the default. I'd love to see more information about a recommended branch structure. FWIW, I've been using branches named for each release

Hi Sam & Debianistas, this is far TLDR for me. That is not meant as a critique, but as a feedback so you have a data point from some random Debianer's available CPU resources. (in general I'm fine to declare best practices for whatever issue so that people can orient themselves on where to head t

TL;DR: These are only guidelines. You're free to ignore them. So I think the issue you bring up isn't a big deal in this case. In more detail: > "Theodore" == Theodore Y Ts'o writes: Theodore> One thing that is been left unclear is what does it mean Theodore> to "use salsa"? Us
