Not quite, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support-forum/issues/787,
but at least Alessandro's commits were mirrorred automatically.  So at
least stuff gets sync'd.

Moreover, these commits built without errors.  For the gory details, see
the logs at https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/pipelines/3557505
Have a look at one of the logs and see how compiler warnings really
stand out now!  Search for 'make -j2'.

You need to pass --enable-silent-rules to ./configure for that now but
I'd like to make that the default.  Any objections?
# Yes, you can --disable-silent-rules to get back the current default.

Bummer the builds passed ;-)  Still untested.

Hope this helps,
