I sometimes need to do this manually, so yes, this might get useful
from time to time.

Can you describe
1) how exactly it works in backgrounds?
2) what's the expected commandline usage?

I see this is part of bigger repo.

1) Would you welcome if we create new repo in git.lyx.org so you don't need to deal with gitlab
   and other have easy commit access as well?

2) We don't have working jenkins for us anymore on the french site, but I could prepare for
   you virtual machine with ubuntu on OSUOSL for automatic running of the tests and set it
   up for automatic emailing to our list in case of errros if that seems useful for you.

   You could either directly use that ubuntu environment or setup some docker/whatever
   containers to get testing under stable and testing releases of OS/texlive.
   
   Any interest in having it? (I can create the machine, setup ubuntu and mailing,
   but the rest of the machine config would be on your shoulders.)
