Config-validation on group: deprecated-2017Q4 being lowercased breaking builds

Early Releases
1

Hi,

group: deprecated-2017Q4 #must be upper case but travis “build config validation” if enabled will lowercase it and break the build’s is the primary problem, could we not have group names be lowercase.

More details below.

I’m trying to get a plugin for the ckan product to build the legacy versions. namely 2.7 or older. This has an issue the latest trusty or newer images in that psycopg2 2.4 or older won’t be installed due to finding libpq-dev 10.1.1 installed (libpq-dev 9.3.* would fix it).

this is related to https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/8897

I’d love to update our python requirements but this is a tagged release and we are trying to be as backwards compatible as possible.

you can see the main error in https://travis-ci.org/github/qld-gov-au/ckanext-xloader/jobs/712363110

One work around i’ve found is to hack the requirements text file of a tag to allow it to work, does mean its not testing exactly what was released. Still want to be able to use the old tag, or have a lowercase version updated to match the uppercase version.

see https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-scheming/blob/master/bin/travis-build.bash#L35

if [ -f requirements-py2.txt ] && [ $PYTHONVERSION = 2 ]
then
    grep -v psycopg2 < requirements-py2.txt > reqs.txt
else
    grep -v psycopg2 < requirements.txt > reqs.txt
fi
pip install psycopg2==2.7.7  # workaround travis 10 psycopg2 incompatibility
pip install -r reqs.txt
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
