I have setup a copy of one little-schemer [1] project, with some
tweaks to runs the test in travis [2]. The 6.2 version had a bug that
broke their code, that was fixed in 6.2.1 [3]. So I thought it would
be nice to test it to be sure that the new version doesn't breaks
their code. (This looks easier than running it in a VM each time.)

I only added a few minimal changes in the "travis" branch (the master
branch is unchanged). I only test a few directories, because I think
the other are work in progress. To run the HEAD version, I had to
install the unstable-debug-lib package, because it has some functions
that were moved from the unstable collection.

In order to run the tests, I'm using the travis-racket project [4]. I
run the tests in the 6.1.1 and 6.2.1 and HEAD version of racket.

My problem is that I wanted to add a test for the "release" version of
racket, but it's not available.

The HEAD version is tested using the current snapshot at
http://plt.eecs.northwestern.edu/snapshots/current/installers/racket-test-current-x86_64-linux-precise.sh

But the latest (old) "release" version is
http://pre-release.racket-lang.org/installers/racket-minimal-6.2.0.900-x86_64-linux-ubuntu-precise.sh

One problem is that it has the version number in the URL, I found no
link for the "current" version, so it's difficult to add it to
travis-racket.

Another more abstract problem is that I'm not sure what is the right
"current" version of the release branch outside the release windows,
¿the last release version? ¿a copy of the HEAD version? ...

Is it possible to add something like
http://pre-release.racket-lang.org/installers/racket-minimal-current-x86_64-linux-ubuntu-precise.sh
?
