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
