Travis is currently migrating over to using containers for builds. These start much faster than the old full VMs, but they don't give you root access. This means that you can't use sudo to install packages and should instead list them in your .travis.yml file.
Here's the confg that CueKeeper uses: https://github.com/talex5/cuekeeper/blob/master/.travis.yml In summary: 1. Add the `avsm` PPA to get an up-to-date OCaml. 2. List all debs you need ahead of time. 3. Put `FORK_USER=talex5 FORK_BRANCH=containers` in `env` so that it uses my branch of ocaml-travisci-skeleton (tracking PR here: https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml-travisci-skeleton/pull/41) 4. If using mirage, use `PINS=mirage` and use `mirage configure --no-depext`. Notes: - All debs and PPAs must be whitelisted by Travis. avsm is whitelisted already. - aspcud is not whitelisted (I've requested it here: https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/3898), which means that the opam deb doesn't work reliably. Instead, my branch gets opam and aspcud via 0install. - There's no obvious way to specify which version of ocaml you want. Perhaps Anil could add e.g. an `ocaml-4.01` with a suitable version constraint? -- Dr Thomas Leonard http://roscidus.com/blog/ GPG: DA98 25AE CAD0 8975 7CDA BD8E 0713 3F96 CA74 D8BA _______________________________________________ opam-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ocaml.org/listinfo/opam-devel
