I'm honoured to be whitelisted by Travis :-) It would be useful to have a command to generate the Travis file with the full APT list. What's the OPAM 1.2.x command to generate the depext recursive list? opam pin add hdhcp opam install -e ubuntu hdhcp Shows me no depexts, so is there a new command with "opam list" or similar that I'm meant to use? > > 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.

I publish several PPAs for each combination of OPAM and OCaml: https://launchpad.net/~avsm Is it possible to select the right PPA repository from this list, or does this require individual whitelisting from Travis? -anil _______________________________________________ opam-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ocaml.org/listinfo/opam-devel
