Travis Configs

Travis requires a .travis.yml config file in every branch. The config file controls how many builds are performed and which configure options each build should use.

Keeping all these files up-to-date was becoming a problem, so they've been moved out into a separate repo.

Build Config Lookup

To build a branch, look for the matching config text file. If that doesn't exist, then look for a shorter match. Finally, if there's no matching config, use the default.

Examples

Branch: devel/sidebar

• devel/sidebar.txt exists

Branch: devel/status-color

• devel/status-color.txt doesn't exist
• devel.txt exists

Branch: coverity

• coverity.txt doesn't exist
• default.txt exists

Building

Travis will perform one build for each line in the config file. Each line is a set of options that will be passed to configure. Any empty line will mean that no options are passed.

Build Script

The build script makes a few changes to the Makefiles in order to speed things up. For example, the docs will not be built.
