I will be the first to admit I'm not up to date on latest Salsa news, but see, what you mention - "include the yml" - is exactly what I don't want. If maintainers need to include a yaml file, it means it can vary between projects, which means it can either have bugs or be hijacked. In my view, there should be no freedom here, just one setting - "enable tag2upload with automated autopkg testing", and all packages would behave mostly the same way. But there are 2KiB single-binary packages as well as 2GB 25 binary packages, so maybe this is too wide scope. I just learned about tag2upload, need to look into that. (I'm still processing this whole story, and I fear the fallout/impact in terms of how development is regarded will be extremely high.) regards, iustin
