@fscherf hi, there's a few improvements to make, CI-wise:

1. Run tests against master on daily basis
2. Migrate integration into new platform travis-ci.com

[fscherf]

@webknjaz: why do we need to test daily? Because of aiohttp updates?

[webknjaz]

Exactly

[fscherf]

I've thougth about something like this too. It would be great to have two seperated travis ens:

1. testing master against the current well-known aiohttp version
2. testing master against aiohttp master

The github batch should show nr 1. So i could job 2 to see if there is work ahead for remaining compatible with aiohttp upstream

@webknjaz whats the difference between travis-ci.org and travis-ci.com?

[webknjaz]

yes, it's possible to do it this way and also it's possible to do a conditional stage runs, for example, only test forward compatibility within cron jobs.

travis-ci.com is used to be for paid customers only, but now they're merging two platforms into one. So you'll basically get the same. Sooner or later they'll migrate you anyway. Currently you can opt-in for immediate migration, but this won't migrate your old build history (it will be available in the old web-site during some time). Also, they are going away from the deprecated GitHub Services API towards newer Apps API, which also makes it much more flexible for you to control Travis's access to your repos.

Oh, and btw I've already migrated all repos in aio-libs org to the new platform.

Sounds good to me. Thanks for bringing this up! Would be great if you send patches :)

[webknjaz]

Well, you can already ask Travis' support to migrate the repo and you can already enable cron builds. Both do not depend on patches.
