Message 338022 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Not sure how to categorize this one, or if this should even be a bpo.

Currently, the .travis.yml config file still has a sudo: false key, which previously triggered the Container-based environment on Travis. However, that was removed in December 2018, and so the key is now obsolete. Furthermore, the builds are still running in the Trusty environment, which will be at the end of its 5-year development lifecycle in April 2019 (next month). Therefore, sudo: false should be removed, and the distribution should be upgraded to the modern dist: xenial.

If non-trivial errors result, the change will likely be well beyond my minimal expertise as a brand-new contributor, but I figured I'd nevertheless make the attempt in a PR if not, which others can take over/supersede if necessary.
