Maintenance

Releases are ingested automatically: each source repo’s release workflow fires a repository_dispatch of type ingest-release against this repo, which runs .github/workflows/ingest.yml to pull the tag’s .deb assets and add them to the pool via reprepro.

Manual ingestion is also available via Actions -> Ingest release -> Run workflow.
