I'm not sure if that is really the way to do it, but this excerpt from a .travis.yml file does the trick for me: # make sure we have texinfo in fact make sure we have texinfo 5.0 or # higher. Travis currently runs the old Ubuntu LTS which has an old # version of texinfo, so we need to install from a ppa before_install: - sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:marutter/texlive.backport - sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:dns/gnu - sudo apt-get update -qq - sudo apt-get install -y texinfo automake1.14 Hope that helps Christian -- Christian Egli Swiss Library for the Blind, Visually Impaired and Print Disabled Grubenstrasse 12, CH-8045 Zürich, Switzerland
