 Hi Cleber,

by the way, what's the status of your patch series to get the dedicated CI 
machines (s390x, aarch64, ...) running in our Gitlab-CI? AFAIK the last 
iteration of your patches has been weeks ago, so I wonder whether you could 
finally send a new version with the requested fixes included? ... this topic 
slowly gets more and more urgent now that our Travis-CI is in process of 
dying...
