[WIP] Run Travis on Ubuntu 14.04 #5730
Conversation
The wheelhouse binaries are not 14.04 compatible

The environments are described here https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/ci-environment/ |

We could also depend on the version of numpy that travis ships |

why did this flip? nm, I can read

I would prefer a container based env based on 14.04 but apparently there is no such thing? It would be nice to know if the container based or the 14.04 infrastructure is supposed to be the future?

we should reach out to @matthew-brett and @blink1073 about getting wheels for 14.04 in the wheel house. If this travis setup is a win, I suspect skimage/nipy will want to move over too. |

The last commit is an experiment to use the Travis numpy version. I am -0.5 on doing that but lets see what happens |
|
@tacaswell, we'd need to use a different wheelhouse, because the wheel format would not differentiate between Linux versions. Theoretically, it should just work between versions, you could try. |
|
I tried and seemed to get random seqfaults in some of the builds. Happy to investigate more thou |
|
Really sad that this is still not a solved issue with wheels on Linux... |

Closing, We can't use this until we have cache and/or wheels on 14.04 Looks like we can get the PGF tests running on 12.04 anyway see #5727 |
This gives us better machines and a more up to date packages which allows us to install xelatex and run the pgf tests. This fails because #5727 is not merged and would have caught that issues.
Unfortunatly the wheelhouse packages are not compatible with this (segfault) so I had to disable them.
Neither does this support the caching of pip/wheel packages so we have to compile numpy from source every time.
Possible solutions to this which I can see are
