I'm looking at the Travis CI Build Jobs and they are taking a really long time. I would like to discuss paring down the build jobs in the following ways:
1. We don't need to run cross tests on both debian and on ubuntu, especially since we're using a dockerfile that's practically identical between the two; one derives from the other. I'd like to recommend removing build jobs #2 and #4 (debian) and keeping the ubuntu ones. 2. Given we remove debian build jobs #2 and #4 above, we can keep #10 which is a Debian build job with cmake, and eliminate #9 which is the same as #10 but on Ubuntu. I think it is adqeuately covered in other jobs. 3. We don't need to build the matrix of (boost threads, std threads)x(gcc,clang). Let's get rid of #12 which is boost threads with clang, and let's get rid of #15 which is std threads with gcc. 4. Do we need all four distribution build jobs #20 through #23? This should reduce build time by at least 25%. Thoughts?
