Thank you for your kind words :)

I do but I didn't preserve it in the last run. I've just added 
the Artifacts step to the cirrus configuration.
Artifacts is the terminology they use to make files from the 
build environment available for download after the task completed.

The way it's being done right now is that 'make install' installs 
to the /usr prefix. After that a tarball of this prefix is 
created (via tar cJf gdc-triplet.txz /usr). I'm not sure if 
that's suitable as a release as is because tar omits the root / 
so the result will be extracted as usr/
There isn't a lot of time budget left in that task but it should 
be possible to run some more scripts.
If the time limit won't suffice it should be possible to cache 
/usr and move the tar ball script into a new task.

Also, all of that is Linux only at the moment.
I've created a matrix for the Dockerfiles so all platforms that 
can run bash should be easy to add - simply adding the Dockerfile 
to the matrix and it-should-work(TM).

I couldn't find the install script in my 1 minute search in the 
download section. Could I inconvenience you to copy/paste the 
link, please ?
Thanks :)
