I think for any Linux distro we choose, we should choose the latest
version that has reasonable reliability for the tests. So generally
that means the latest stable release on some but some have rolling
releases that have a pretty good reputation for reliability as well.
So my choices would be Debian Stretch (rolling), Ubuntu yakkety
(latest stable since there is no Ubuntu rolling), OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
(rolling), Arch Linux (only a rolling release), and Fedora 26 (latest
stable).  I chose Fedora 26 over Rawhide (the Fedora rolling release)
somewhat arbitrarily so others here with some 26 versus Rawhide
reliability experience should help us finalize that decision.

[Plplot-devel] Testing with Docker

[Hazen Babcock]

Going in a completely different direction from travis-ci.. I've been 
experimenting with Docker:


https://docs.docker.com/

Quoting the web-site "Docker provides a way to run applications securely 
isolated in a container, packaged with all its dependencies and libraries".


What this means for us is that we can test just about any linux distro 
with just about any set of libraries. For example, the attached will 
test the current SF PLplot with a very limited number of dependencies on 
the debian-latest distro. More interestingly, we can create images that 
have all the dependencies and PLplot loaded. Then for updated test 
results all that we'd have to do is pull the most recent version of 
PLplot, cmake, make and ctest.


So, thoughts about what 5 or so linux distros we want to be sure that 
PLplot works on?
