Now that you mention it: no. It would have been possible to install gcc-8 only in the 'linux-gcc' build job even via the apt addon, namely by removing the two Linux build jobs from the implicit build matrix and adding them as two independent build jobs in the 'matrix.include' section of '.travis.yml'. The drawback is that all the extra packages used in both build jobs would have to be duplicated. > Or we > could have fixed it while we were on apt addon but we didn't bother, > and this patch fixes it "while at it"---primarily because the shell > script is far more flexible to work with than travis.yml matrix and > this kind of customization is far easier to do? Basically yes (though I think it's not about not bothering; I don't know about others, but it just occured to me that it would have been doable, however, even if it occured to me earlier, because of the duplicated list of common packages I wouldn't have done it). Doing it in good old shell is indeed easier and the common packages are then only listed once. > > Print the versions of P4 and Git-LFS conditionally, i.e. only when > > they have been installed; with this change even the static analysis > > and documentation build jobs start using 'ci/install-dependencies.sh' > > to install packages, and neither of these two build jobs depend on and > > thus install those. > > > > This change will presumably be beneficial for the upcoming Azure > > Pipelines integration [1]: preliminary versions of that patch series > > run a couple of 'apt-get' commands to install the necessary packages > > before running 'ci/install-dependencies.sh', but with this patch it > > will be sufficient to run only 'ci/install-dependencies.sh'. > > So the main point of this change is to have less knowledge to > prepare the target configuration in the .travis.yml file and keep > them all in ci/install-dependencies.sh, which hopefully is more > reusable than .travis.yml in a non Travis environment?
