Well, »it doesn't support D« is true in that there is no built-in support for it, but you are allowed to install arbitrary software on the system as part of your installation scripts (for example, the LDC pre-build hooks install LLVM and libconfig++). The most straightforward way would be to set up an Ubuntu PPA containing the DMD/GDC/LDC versions you need. But it would probably be a wise idea to coordinate with the Travis guys anyway, to avoid that suddenly some two hundred D projects all pull in the same packages from a server not in the Travis network…
Ok, I didn't know you could do that.
I'd try to approach the Travis people in #travis on FreeNode – from my experience, they are quite responsive there. Also note that all of Travis is open source, so I'm sure the process would be much quicker if there was an actual patch adding D support to discuss.
Absolutely, I just don't have any idea how I would add support for a new language, that's partly why I created the issue. The IRC channel seems like a good idea, thanks.
