Oh you're right, my bad I missed those. To be honest I just copy-pasted 
the package list from the wiki, threw those in Docker and tweaked it 
until ./configure was happy. I guess I'll have a lot of wiki editing to 
do then!

Yup. And also for every branch, and on any incoming Merge Request.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Continuous Integration. :-)

And as I said previously, it is still quite simplistic for now: I want 
to support pretty much every distribution that's claimed to be supported 
by the wiki, both latest version and LTS.
We could also try to add some older distributions if we want to extend 
the "official" support for Gambas.

(To Picorro: What distributions/versions is your old hardware running on 
? I see you talking about it quite a lot but can't find the actual 
distribution specs)

The only downside of GitLab CI is that it only supports x86_64-based 
Linux builds, but there are other CI providers out there that support 
other systems (I'm thinking about Appveyor for Windows/Cygwin, and 
Travis for macOSX, BSD, 32-bit Linux and maybe ARM).

Also, if somebody whishes to "donate" (or rather "dedicate") some 
hardware to test Gambas, they can install the GitLab Runner on it and we 
can connect it to our repository, then GitLab will be able to schedule 
builds on it.

Then, when Gambas is automatically built on the platforms we want, I 
will throw in the automated test suites (when the gb.test component is 
ready), so they are automatically run on every commit as well.
