coveralls

Motivation

• https://github.com/python-control/Slycot/issues/44

The coveralls link is broken; it's not just the case of "Slycot" in the URL, since both https://coveralls.io/r/python-control/slycot (the current URL in README.md) and https://coveralls.io/r/python-control/Slycot give 404s.

I don't know much about coveralls; is python-control/Slycot registered properly? Are we missing a step in the Travis CI build?

We could just remove this badge and URL.

Action plan

• Read about coveralls at https://docs.coveralls.io/
• Also read about https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/coveralls/

Travis Doc

1. Add your repository to Coveralls.
2. Configure your build to install the Coveralls library for the programming language you’re using.
3. Add Coveralls to your test suite.
4. If you’re using Travis CI for private repos, add service_name: travis-pro to your .coveralls.yml.

Questions

1. Need a GitHub account on the organization list to log in to Coveralls ?
2. In Python, what is equivalent to a Gemfile of Ruby? Conda recipe file?
3. If account issue, is it acceptable or desirable if one of forks provides with the link to coveralls? Reliability?
4. What would be the link to a fork coverall label?

Attempts

1. https://coveralls.io/r/kangwonlee/Slycot leads to https://coveralls.io/github/kangwonlee/Slycot
2. Its upper level link https://coveralls.io/github/python-control is up and running but listing python-control only
3. https://coveralls.io/r/python-control/python-control leads to https://coveralls.io/github/python-control/python-control without a problem
4. At https://coveralls.io/repos/new?name=python-control&service=github, I am unable to add Slycot
