The initial CI setup has been merged to main, but some small TODOs that popped up during the setup are left, i.e.: - [x] Improve/fix the BE-check by changing back to the source branch commit before running `self_test.py` - [x] add `-j` flag to all `make` calls (and potentially already remove the `.NOTPARRALEL` target from the Makefile) - [x] add a new template `.test-job-linux-needs-testv-dir` so we only run the `before_script` step currently in `.test-job-linux` where it really is needed - [x] check why there are no logs archived from the smoke test job
