Re: [PATCH 0/8] CI rework of gitlab fast job

[Henning Schild <henning.schild@siemens.com>]

I did not dare touching any of this for a very long time. But we have
reached a state where the CI is just a better room heater and not
meaningful, at least when done with gitlab and running the fast.

There is much to be improved, this is just a start. It is tested on our
gitlab and we save about 1.5h per run while we now vm-test all images
we build.
