YEY. Awesome work.

I had a old .travis.yml building Subsurface on os x:
https://github.com/glance-/subsurface/blob/obsolete/master_travis_osx/.travis.yml

I last touched it in 2014 so its probably really obsolete.


I also have a version which builds a android apk:
https://github.com/glance-/subsurface/blob/master_travis_android_docker/.travis.yml

I like the trick of running a docker container with the dependencies we
need for running the build in. That way you get full control of the
environment and you don't need to rely on the quite messy travis images.


The only other thing I can recommend is to automate building our MXE
environment and our Qt-builds to.
