I tried this: I created a 14 day trial account on packagecloud, and
tried to deploy my code there.  That failed because the server side at
packagecloud didn't like maven artifact attachment with extension .xml.

This means that all of my bundle projects (which have a karaf feature
attached) as well as the project with packaging pom, that aggregates all
of my bundles' features into a feature repository, failed to deploy.

The packagecloud people filed a bug on that but couldn't promise to have
it fixed during what was left of my trial period.

I ended up doing none of the above.  I ended up doing:
  4. Set up an ftp server on the same machine where karaf was running,
     and set up travis-ci to deploy to that repository, and then adding
     the file-URL pointing to the deployment area as a maven repository
     in the karaf config.  After a travis-ci deployment I have to log
     into the karaf console and do "bundle:update" on each bundle I
     would like refreshed

This works, and is a lot simpler than what I did before.  But it's still
not fully automated (I still have to do the manual "bundle:update"
commands).
