It will work as good or as bad as on Binary Factory. It's exactly the same 
Craft commands and blueprints that are used. The only difference is that for 
Binary Factory a few special options were made in a file called enabled-
projects.yaml. This is now done with the .craft.ini.

In theory, you could even overwrite many aspects of our standard Craft jobs on 
GitLab in your project's .gitlab-ci.yml, but then you are on your own.

That should work as before on Binary Factory.

I just saw that you posted to the #kde-craft:kde.org Matrix room. That's good. 
Let's continue there.

Ingo
