Unable to upgrade CMake to 3.0 from custom PPA

[rcdailey]

I have the following:

before_install:
    - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x --yes
    - sudo apt-get update

install:
    - sudo apt-get install cmake

In the logs, it says there is no upgrade for CMake when I run the install command. This should give me CMake 3.x. What am I doing wrong? How can I get cmake 3.0 or greater on Travis for my CI builds?

Thanks.

I think that ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x might not have packages for Ubuntu 12.04 Precise. Try something like sudo add-apt-repository ppa:george-edison55/precise-backports --yes instead.

It's worth mentioning that to get CMake to install from the george-edison precise backports you have to explicitly install cmake-data along with cmake, otherwise apt-get will try to install the wrong version of cmake-data.

Is there something on our side to do?

@BanzaiMan the following works for me:

addons:
  apt:
    sources:
      - george-edison55-precise-backports # cmake 3.2.3 / doxygen 1.8.3
    packages:
      - cmake
      - cmake-data

Seems to be solved

[BanzaiMan]

Great. Thanks for the update.

I tried exactly the same script as provided by @m-kuhn , still not working and I can't figure out why, can we reopen this?

My configuration can be found from travis.yml

Here's the console for latest change: [travis link](https://travis-ci.org/skyscribe/safeCallback/jobs/131571640, simply nothing installed during installation
