Little update: you can now replace that big if [ `uname` = Linux ] mess in the before_install section with the following:
before_install: - curl http://julialang.org/install-julia.sh | sh -s $JULIAVERSION and it'll work whether or not you've turned on multi-OS support, grabbing the right binary for whatever platform the build worker is using. The script doesn't include the git fetch --unshallow step, so you'll still need that. Any non-Julia binary packages that your package needs to have preinstalled (if BinDeps doesn't take care of them) will still need to be handled in a platform-dependent manner, so apt-get on the Ubuntu workers and homebrew or similar on OSX.
