Yes. You can manually run a pipeline manually at https://gitlab.com/NTPsec/ntpsec/-/pipelines

What's the advantage to running a pipeline an hour or 3 after a commit instead of at commit time? Or even at MR creation time?

Each CI job costs a given number of CI minutes and I believe we hae 50K minutes/month with our GitLab.com OSS subscription

I'm not super familiar with the internals of the option tester script.  The https://docs.gitlab.com/ci/yaml/#parallelmatrix keyword may make it easier to see what's different between each of the options and which platforms we want to test those options against.

Can you explain a bit more about the goal of the options tester and the key things you want it to test?


Thanks,
