Good point. What I'm looking for is allow fork to keep following the
mainstream development.

But why am I forced to run the upstream overhead stuff into my fork?
I find it counter-productive for my limited set of topic I'm modifying.
Also, why should I wait >2h for a pipeline when I exactly know which
area I'm modifying? This is a waste of time and resources.
Gitlab suggested an alternative 3 months ago, it is still fresh:
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/README.html#variables-with-include
combined with
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/README.html#includeremote
and
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/README.html#multiple-files-from-a-project
we could have forks include their gitlab-ci.yml from a specific branch
of their repository.
Example, if I push a branch named project-specific-ci, and we add
that to mainstream:
include:
- project: '$CI_PROJECT_PATH'
ref: project-specific-ci
file:
- '/.gitlab-ci.d/project-specific.yml'
The it would include
project-specific-ci:/.gitlab-ci.d/project-specific.yml in all
branches/tags I push.
In that case we could rename qemu-project.yml -> project-specific.yml
(patch 12).
The problem is I couldn't have it optionally working (when there is
no 'project-specific-ci' branch).
Still room for investigation...
Thanks for the feedback,
Phil.
