travis-ci build and test workflow

[jangorecki]

Would be nice to have travis-ci build and test workflow, or at least the build part.
User would have a live deploy documentation.

Anyone willing to create a .travis.yml file ?

[jangorecki]

optionally the .gitlab-ci.yml may be easier and more flexible (using gitlab.com as CI) as it allows to use any docker image, so all dependencies can be included in docker, and CI can just perform the build.

I'm not familiar with gitlab.com as the CI, can it be wired into github ?

ISTR that github does support docker images

Can be wired by git push to gitlab.com.
AFAIK docker images can be used in travis only to be consumed as services, not as the base for your CI.
According to https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/ci-environment/ it seems you are strictly limited to Ubuntu 12.04! (unless you use their beta) or OS X Mavericks
It also limits you to the travis machines, while gitlab allows to plug own machines as runners, or if needed run CI offline locally.

OK, but we can't wire gitlab into github... to build on every PR?

I'm sure we can, using multi-remote on push, or using webhooks, or using push from travis.
The purpose of this issue was to produce live up-to-date documentation of deploy. So gitlab CI would surely fulfil that.

[davecramer]

So why do we need docker ?

We should be able to build pl/r on travis-ci

To re-use the dependency included in the image and it's maintenance. You can do own images for anything but often it is desired to have maintenance of dependency.
