WTF is up with you? Honest question. I just explained, in a load of

Salsa"?
You _literally_ just wrote:
If it turns out that this new thingie makes Salsa entirely
unneccessary,
then so be it. Good for us.
But really, if we end up getting something that makes an installation
of
gitlab unneccessary, then yay, party. It is not something to be
feared.
Not even an hour ago. How can you expect someone to reach any _other_
conclusion? WTF right back at you.
Ok. So once more:
Speaking as a Salsa admin, I can assure you, that we will, in a hurry
and really fast, switch to another forge, if there is one coming our
way, that offers a comparable feature set, is not too hard to convert to
(this means more than just the admin side, obviously) and is entirely
free. Salsa in it's current form will be *dead* then. Please stop being
attached to a specific implementation of a forge.
Now, again: tag2upload/dgit is not in this category. Not even a little
nor close to. And it won't ever be, even if *all* packages of Debian use
it for uploading.
And yes, I wrote both of that. Your conclusion that it is set out to
kill Salsa from those two is just wrong.
And then something that didn't appear yet: Has anyone asked the Salsa
admins if they even would like tag2upload? Tell you what, the answer is
*no*. This does *NOT* belong on Salsa. This should *not* end up on
Salsa, and we will fight any such move. This is good to go on a
different host and stay seperate. Different people and different
machine. It is an addition, probably a useful one, but nothing to
co-exist on the existing forge.
