How to build reverse dependencies using Salsa CI

Last week, I attended MiniDebConf Campinas, and one of my favorites talks was "Salsa CI, showing features that almost nobody knows" by Aquila Macedo.

One of the things I learned is that we can easily build reverse dependencies using:

$ git push -o ci.variable="SALSA_CI_DISABLE_BUILD_REVERSE_DEPENDENCIES=0"

I tried this option before uploading typer version 0.20.0-1:

This is an amazing feature. Thanks to everyone involved in making it happen!
