The intent was that .travis.yml (and test/travis*) can be kept the same in 2.4.x as in trunk, with the "if" conditions then used to limit exactly which tests are run in trunk vs 2.4. Then we should write the tests for trunk in a way which should always be fine to backport as-is to 2.4. In practice it gets a bit hard to disentangle some changes, and the 2.4 .travis.yml is a bit stale, so maybe there is a better practice. e.g. we could simply maintain two completely independent .travis.yml files and copy and paste stuff from trunk where required. Not really sure to be honest, welcome any opinions. (Also, does anybody know why Travis notifications by e-mail are broken?) Regards, Joe
