Re: Package testing with Salsa CI for new packages

Hi,

I'm not a Debian developer but I have some experience on Salsa CI, so I
thought that I might be able to help... but then I was confused by a
specific part of the message:

If this dependencies are available on the "build" step: could they be
made available on the autopkgtest? I didn't quite understand why this is
not possible. I've found the autopkgtest quite flexible (since the tests
are scripts that could prepare some environment)

For me, the packages on the build job are made available via a Salsa
artifact automatically (and easy to download as a .zip of the *.deb). I
think that this happens on all the "build" jobs on Salsa CI. They can be 
downloaded as a .zip file
(e.g. https://salsa.debian.org/freexian-team/debusine/-/jobs/4564890,
right hand side "Job artifacts" and click "Download"). Would that be
enough?

I also created a repo and hosted it on a Salsa CI page for internal
testing but this is a bit of a workaround. This is in a new job but just
download the artifacts (via a Salsa CI dependency) and run
dpkg-scanpackages and copy the files to the right place).

Cheers,
