Hi,

2 months ago GitLab added time limit to their free CI offer [1].
This series provide developers with the possibility to not run
all jobs. By default all jobs are started, but we can disable
a subset of them.

I think this should be the other way around (enable features one
wants to test, with a default to the "all" keyword), but I didn't
want to disrupt the current workflow.

I'm not sure supporting both ("SKIP_BUILD=3Dall INCLUDE_BUILD=3Dsystem")
options is easy to implement, or to maintain (unlikely).

In the next iteration I'll add the possibility to use a project-
wide environment variable [2] to set the default set of enabled /
disabled features a fork is interested in. User will still be
able to overload using git-push on the command line. A friendly
way to use this feature is with git aliases [3]:

 $ git config alias.pushci_system \
    'push -o ci.variable=3D"SKIP_BUILD=3Duser"'
 $ git config alias.pushci_debian \
    'push -o ci.variable=3D"SKIP_BUILD=3Dcentos,fedora,ubuntu"'

Then you can run the jobs based on Debian images (only) using:

 $ git pushci_debian gitlab_repo my_branch_for_debian

Or run all system-mode emulation jobs only using:

  $ git pushci_system my_gitlab_repo branch_with_system_feature

Comments welcomed!

Regards,

Phil.
