#Debusine aims to be an integrated solution to build, distribute and maintain a Debian-based distribution. The lower-level pieces of its workflows are called tasks. A few examples are Sbuild, Lintian and Debdiff worker tasks.
Adding a new worker task can help you extend the capabilities of a Debusine instance.
Our new blogpost - https://www.freexian.com/blog/debusine-write-task/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social covers how to write one with a detailed example of adding a worker task that runs reprotest.
