Hello, the Alba[1] synchrotron radiation facilities, recently switch to Debian for their OS. They are part of the Tango[2] control system community which contain most of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facilities and others[3]. At least three instituts have already choosen Debian (partially Soleil, ESRF, petraIII, and Alba).
The next meeting of this community will be held in Prague[4] next week. During this meeting, Alba will present their plan about packaging "Collaborative and automated Packaging"[5]. The idea is to propose a pipeline via a .gitlab-ci.yml[6] file which should be added to the upstream repository and/or in a repository dedicated to packaging, in order to generate debian packages ready to install software on their facility or ready to upload into Debian. Since I am not at all a specialist of gitlab-ci, I would like your advice on the pipeline, and also on the numbering scheme propose by Alba. In fact all feedback which should smooth the upstream to debian flow. Thanks for considering.
