[julia-users] Re: Multi-OS (Linux + Mac) testing in Travis
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.

Now, if only they had Windows!

Heads up for package developers - looks like Travis got some additional
capacity and is accepting new repositories for multi-OS support. See
http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/multi-os/ - you need to send an email to
supp...@travis-ci.com asking them to enable multi-OS support for your
package, with a link to the repository. Then change your .travis.yml as
follows:
Add
```
os:
- linux
- osx
```
Replace
```
before_install:
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:staticfloat/julia-deps -y
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:staticfloat/${JULIAVERSION} -y
- sudo apt-get update -qq -y
- sudo apt-get install libpcre3-dev julia -y
```

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:staticfloat/${JULIAVERSION} -y;

fi
```
Elliot got this working a while back when Travis originally announced the
feature, I just tweaked it a little so it works whether or not you've
enabled multi-OS support. To force a build on a Mac worker before Travis
responds to your email, you can temporarily change `language: cpp` to
`language: objective-c`. I think you'll need to change it back to get
builds on both Linux and Mac once support is enabled.
I'll probably make a PR to base to turn this on in the default .travis.yml
from Pkg.generate, since it doesn't hurt anything.
