Not only it's not needed, it's also considered abuse of the salsa infrastructure. I'm copying this message to all packages that seem to be doing this (based on a search for debian/rdeps-ci.yml on codesearch). Please note: if your package CI is triggering the rebuild of all reverse dependencies on every single push, you are abusing the salsa infrastructure. I do not imply malice, it's most probably just an oversight. I ask, however, that the maintainers of each package in Cc: to look into it and take action to mitigate the abuse of shared resources (otherwise I will have to). Maybe your packages does not have as many reverse dependencies as node-glob, and it's fine, but please think about the collective. > Gitlab CI yaml syntax allows a lot of flexibility to determine when the CI > gets ran automatically, manually, or not at all (see rules: in > https://salsa.debian.org/help/ci/yaml/_index.md#rules , it can also filter on > commit message regexps, branch names, merge request conditions, etc), and I'd > argue that the salsa-ci-team/pipeline should perhaps grow the capability (I > have not checked, perhaps it exists already) to only launch on `debian/ > latest`, or manually, or allow customizations. There is a similar feature being developed for Salsa CI proper, as part of a GSoC project. But in there, it needs to be explicitly triggered by a person. I also suggested to the developer working on this to provide an option of triggering the rebuild of a sample of the of reverse dependencies, instead of all, and he said he'll work on it.
