Travis CI builds broken since 2 years

[probonopd]

Travis CI builds seem to be broken since 2 years, and no one seems to care?
https://travis-ci.org/scribusproject/scribus/builds#

The last successful build was for commit 0857680:
https://travis-ci.org/scribusproject/scribus/builds/233919559

Pull request updating the AppImage build by @lizardking has gone ignored:
#98

Is this repository abandoned @aoloe?

[aoloe]

no, @probonopd it's not abandoned... but it will take some work from my side to get it work again and until not so long ago i did know very little about travis and appimage.

i'm creating a small program where i also use travis and appimage and now understand a bit more about it.
i wanted to to fix the scribus script build after i'm finished with the other project... but i can also try to do it before : - )
it won't be for this year, but i can try to do it soon... promised...

Let me know if I can help you with Travis CI, linuxdeployqt and AppImage.

It's not been ignored, there are some things to sort out before declaring the issue solved.
I think we can continue the discussion in the pull request, and figure out what we need to solve.
It's my fault as well, I'm no expert in cmake, to be perfectly honest.
That (and some initial testing) seems to be the missing thing.
It's better to figure it out and solve it once ;)

Maybe switching to GitLab could have advantages. I am building it at https://gitlab.com/probono/scribus right now.

Here is a test AppImage for download (available for 14 days), feedback highly welcome:

In the original PR the issue is related to cmake options.
I don't think we need an outside test.
The point is giving the original travis file the posibility to read an "appimage" option, so it cn build for that without causing issues in other builds.
The actual build works, that's not new information...

@LyzardKing have you looked at how I do the build on GitLab CI? I think it's very elegant with Docker and all. Very short build times.
