[DBIx-Class-Devel] Extensively customised test-matrix active on master, smoke/* and topic/* branches

[Peter Rabbitson]

After more trial-and-error than I'd like I wrangled travis to smoke 
precisely what I want it to smoke. An exhaustive explanation on how and 
why this works can be found here[1]. There is still a bunch of things to 
be done (just grep for FIXME in [2]), but the main framework is there 
and solid.

Please do not disable/skip failing tests before discussing it with the 
cabal. While it seems like common sense, last time travis was instituted 
a lot of weird stuff got committed just to get a green. Hence this 
explicit notice. There is also nothing wrong with having red on a 
specific platform for an extended period of time - someone will 
eventually get around to fixing it. The only thing that can be 
considered a blocker is lack of green on the master branch - this would 
indicate it is currently not fit for a CPAN release.

Cheers
