Simplify building emacs-$VERSION-travis.tar.gz #102

Closed gonewest818 closed 5 years ago

This pull request adds some tooling to simplify building new versions of Emacs for use in Travis CI:

Dockerfile encapsulates the setup of the Travis build image
build-emacs.sh automates the steps to download sources and compile
generate.sh is the wrapper you use to compile and export the .tar.gz file

In other words, this makes it so you just type

$ docker/generate.sh -v 26.0.91

on a machine that has Docker installed and the script takes care of the rest.

Speaking of which, this script makes it possible to generate a new build for the recently posted Emacs 26.0.91, so I updated the recipe and the .travis.yml build matrix too.

Ah, I see the Travis CI job failed because it specifically checks the major/minor version number against a template where "emacs-26-pretest-travis" and "emacs-git-snapshot-travis" would never match. That will need to be fixed.

I already have a build for the new 26 ready, but waiting to confirm that the mis-configuration of ELPA is the only thing blocking built-in TLS from working.

Ok, and it would be easy to back out the gnutls-bin and keep the rest of the docker tooling.

I rebased this pull request on top of the recent commits to master so that this pull request will merge without modification. It now incorporates the --without-x --with-x-toolkit=no --with-gnutls options in the build automation (generate.sh and build-emacs.sh) while removing the instructions from README.md. With this pull request the user no longer needs to follow a series of steps manually. They can just run the generate.sh script.
