Hi Bruno,

basically set up a minimalistic group and two projects. One project to
build the docker images, another one to fetch gnulib and test it.

The stretch CI image is already built, the testing CI still waiting to
be processed.

Meanwhile you should create a Gitlab account and tell me your nick. So
I can invite you and give you the appropriate permissions.

There is much to be tuned (permissions, build optimizations, different
kind of builds/tests e.g. with/without sanitizers). And there is much
to learn about the Gitlab UI.
Maybe it's better to discuss those details via PM - feel free to
contact me.

Regards, Tim

Good, agree with Gitlab CI as a starter (since glibc systems are the
most important platforms to test).

I think it would be better to register https://gitlab.com/gnulib as a new
project. (In the long run, the intersection between wget maintainers and
gnulib maintainers may be empty.) Would you be willing to do that, please?

"syncs+tests gnulib once a day" sounds good.

Hi Bruno,

I have CI experience with several projects and I am willing to help.

>From my experience and knowledge, the Gitlab CI is much more
configurable than e.g. Travis. It is docker based and thus limited to
all kinds of Linux variants (including cross-platform builds, e.g.
MinGW). Therefore I use Travis for OSX testing only.

I have no experience with AppVeyor wich would be useful for native
Windows testing.

As a starter, I could set up a gnulib test CI as a subproject in https:
//gitlab.com/gnuwget that syncs+tests gnulib e.g. once a day.

WDYT ?
