This post details how Debian leverages GitLab's CI/CD functionality through a custom tool called Salsa CI to automate package testing before public release. Salsa CI runs multiple jobs, including building packages on various architectures and executing autopkgtest and lintian, to identify regressions and errors, thereby streamlining software development and accelerating package maintenance for over 900 Debian developers.
