[Github-comments] [geany-plugins] Enable Travis CI (#172)

[Enrico Tröger]

To wake this one up: regarding the question how to get an up2date version of Geany into the build environment: I'd prefer the nightly builds way.
In the meantime, Travis offers Ubuntu 14.04 as beta environment (https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/ci-environment). Maybe we can check this, it might also help solving the geanypy problems.
The Debian Wheezy nightly builds install fine in Ubuntu 14.04.
Alternatively, we could also setup a nightly build for Ubuntu 12.04. However, this seems a bit overkill just for Travis because I guess normal users have already upgraded their Ubuntus to more recent versions.

And in theory the nightly builds approach has the disadvantage if we change some API in Geany and on the same day use this new API in G-P, the nightly builds will be too old.
Though I think this won't happen too often and/or we could maybe shorten the nightly interval from 24h to 12h hours or even less (they won't rebuild if there were no changes in GIT master).
