Build a travis test bot

[robe]

I think Travis integrates nicely with github, so perhaps instead of having debbie and winnie test git PostGIS, we can instead build a travis script that pulls PostGIS git and tests it.

pgRouting folks I think already build PostGIS as part of their travis testing, so perhaps we can look at their scripts as template of how we want to build ours.

Update Mat was kind enough to build a travis bot scripts for GEOS. I'll take a look at that and pgRouting one for lessons.

First step seems to be defining a .travis.yml and scripts it should call we should probably start this at the 2.2 stage.

Getty stepped up t the plate on this one and seems to be making progress.

01:12:48	Getty:	btw i am at froscon tomorrow
01:12:51	Getty:	dont know if someone else is
02:16:07	Getty:	it works!!!
02:16:09	Getty:	it still fails
02:16:15	Getty:	but just 3 tests
02:16:37	Getty:	there is a small failure in the repo might be a branch 2_1 problem and fixed in the trunk already
02:16:43	Getty:	but ..... the travis config works
02:16:54	Getty:	runtime 6 minutes
02:17:10	Getty:	testing against GEOS_VERSION 3.4.1 and 3.3.8
02:17:50	Getty:	oh interesting it doesnt works at all with 3.3.8
02:18:22	Getty:	there is a small "bug" that forces a /usr/lib/libgeos_c.so.1 in the regression tests
02:18:59	Getty:	oh wait runtime 3 minutes
02:19:00	Getty:	not 6
14:19:49	robe2:	Getty great job. Thanks a bunch.
14:20:22	robe2:	Getty I don't think any of us tests on 3.3.8 so its possible it doesn't work because of changes strk made in 3.3.9
14:20:38	robe2:	I thoughh we had fixed but maybe not.

Getty's repo with travis. ​http://github.com/Getty/postgis

[robe]

correction he has it in 2.1 because 2.2 didn't work for some reason:

​https://github.com/Getty/postgis/tree/svn-2.1

[robe]

update got a travis build using Getty's script and added a libjson-dev to it

https://travis-ci.org/robe2/postgis

It seems his script fails in 2.2 if you don't install libjson, but it worked in 2.1. Getting 3 failures. I'll post to separate ticket as regression bug.

Now done for branches 2.0,2.1, trunk (2.0 done at r11926)
