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 restrict
by selecting a subset of them.

Since v1:
- switch from "all but skip some" to "all or select some"

I tried to use a project-wide environment variable [2] to set
the default set of selected features a fork is interested in,
but it didn't work out well yet.

A friendly way to use this feature is with git aliases [3]:

 $ git config alias.pushci_system \
    'push -o ci.variable="QEMU_BUILD=system"'
 $ git config alias.pushci_debian \
    'push -o ci.variable="QEMU_BUILD=debian"'

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.
