Thanks for creating the ticket. We have this on our direct roadmap but I don't have an ETA sorry. |

Stage/production/Vagrant/Heroku's RDS all use mysql 5.6, however Travis is currently running v5.5. Installing mysql 5.6 manually on the Travis container infra is currently broken: travis-ci/apt-package-safelist#1206 (comment) To use sudo (for apt-get) we either have to fall back to the legacy non-container infra, or else use the new Trusty beta infra: http://blog.travis-ci.com/2015-10-14-opening-up-ubuntu-trusty-beta/ http://docs.travis-ci.com/user/trusty-ci-environment/#Runtimes The Trusty beta infra is also non-container, but at least isn't EOL. Unfortunately similar to the legacy non-container infra, it doesn't offer caching, so incurs a setup time penalty of approx 3 minutes (including the mysql 5.6 install, npm install and peep install). See: travis-ci/travis-ci#4997 If/when the container infra uses mysql 5.6 by default, or the bug preventing installing it using the apt travis.yml option is fixed, we should switch back to the container infra, to speed up the Travis run. In this commit, we use `--user` with the peep install, since the non-container infra doesn't set up a virtualenv, and we cannot use sudo due to: travis-ci/travis-ci#4989 In addition, the current user ("travis") now doesn't have permissions to create the Treeherder DB, so we have to use `-u root` (the password is blank). The new infra is running Python 2.7.10 (rather than the v2.7.9 of the container infra) which now matches what runs in the Vagrant environment. In future bugs we should update stage/prod and Heroku to 2.7.10 too.

No problem - many thanks :-) |

Are there any news about this? We need java 8 in Bootstrap and the easiest solution was to use the trusty image. But without caching, builds have been a lot slower. :/ |

We are working on this. Getting close to general availability, but no ETA just quite yet. |

We've had to switch our open-source project from the container infra to the Trusty beta to work around #1986 (since we cannot use the apt whitelist feature due to travis-ci/apt-package-safelist#1206 (comment)).
Unfortunately this means we also lose support for dependency caching, resulting in a 3 minute increase in the setup time for each job (previously it was < 10 seconds).
I know the Trusty beta is still a WIP, but I couldn't find a ticket for adding support for caching, so thought I'd create one.
Thanks :-)
