Why not use the Sourceforge .deb packages directly?
Since you are CI'ing a library and running the fptest driver program in console mode, with the FPC .deb packages, you also avoid installing Lazarus with all its attendant X11 and related libraries, meaning your CI jobs will run faster - from your example your pipeline run time is dominated by the 'install FPC' step.
I am using a Docker image built with the FPC .deb files with Drone CI.
Thank you for taking interest in this issue.
The problem about downloading
.deb files directly and install them is that Travis-CI blocks external downloads. (I think for security reasons). So the build hangs in the download forever until its finally killed by the CI Engine.
I also noticed that the installation is quite lengthly but I think there is no way reusing the created images with the personal account.
But I will also take a look at "
Drone CI" thank you for the hint.
