hm, I guess the problem could be our use of sudo

@kmike we can speedup builds by disabling sudo and using precompiled binaries, or we can wait, because header says "Using sudo isn’t possible (right now)" :)

kmike commented 9 years ago

@chekunkov as I recall, the problem is that Travis uses Ubuntu 12.04 which doesn't have official qt5 package, and to install qt5 from ppa in a new container-based Travis infrastructure this ppa must be whitelisted, but it is not. @sunu may know more details.

sunu commented 9 years ago

Yes basically we need the Qt5 ppa to be whitelisted first and then we can move to the container based new Travis infrastructure. I just submitted an issue https://github.com/travis-ci/apt-source-whitelist/issues/110. But I am not sure how and if at all they are handling the requests.
