I think that it would be better for nettle to maintain separate build-images and not rely on other project's build-images. We could add 'gnutls/nettle-build-images' for this if you want? Or is there some other more canonical home for nettle on gitlab already? > Efficiency could matter: extra work, like installing lots of packages as > part of each ci job, makes the ci more expensive, and I don't know what > limits there are to the gnutls project on gitlab, but by default.

The build/gnutls job takes a while, and maybe it could be speed up somehow. My experience is that it can help to have some build image for stable released well-known OSs but not create one for every single variant. However looking at build times most of the jobs are 1-3 minutes which is quite quick already. I usually don't bother until the jobs start to take more than 5 minutes to complete. /Simon > PS.

Or is there some other way to run a cross valgrind? What do you want to achieve? If valgrind on arm is the goal, rather than testing the cross-build setup, it may be simpler to have a macOS build job with valgrind. /Simon
