Not at hand. IIRC, I've asked mainly on the
<emacs-build-automation@gnu.org> ML.

We don't have a problem with GitLab a priori. It has served for several
years. But recently, we see many authorization failures I have no
explanation for, and we run out of space permanently, although there are
daily prune cron jobs. Somebody with solid GitLab and/or Docker
experience whould be able to fix this.

ATM, we run CI only for GNU/Linix. There are no plans yetto extend this
for other terget systems.

Thanks! I'm occupied the next days, but later this week, I'll come back
with this issue.
