August CIDUG Meeting 8-14-2014: Setting-up Travis-CI for Drupal repositories on GitHub
"...,Travis CI[1] is a hosted, distributed continuous integration service used to build and test projects hosted at GitHub."[2] By trial and error, I have been able to build my Drupal platform, luggage[3], on Travis-CI and have it pass the most basic tests.[4] I'll walk you through how I did it but leave you hanging on where I'm going with this next.
Help us out! Sign up for Twin Cities Drupal Camp - NOW!
Just a reminder that there is just under a week to take advantage of the "Early Bird Special" for this years Twin Cities Drupal Camp. Some members of the planning committee have predicted that this WILL BE the best Drupal Camp ever!
