Default Ubuntu dist just changed to Focal? Need a libssl 1.x

Environments Linux

The Build Environment Overview docs continue to say that Xenial (16.04) is the default, yet we have just (part-way through our morning) experienced builds failing after an apparent shift of the default from Xenial to Focal. Yes, I know that Xenial is no longer in LTS from Ubuntu, but a heads up to prepare and test for this would have been nice.

The issue with the change, other than the unexpected surprise and disruption, is that we have components that rely upon libssl 1.x to function, and that isn’t there in the Focal installation. What’s the best way to rectify that?

Anyone from Travis still alive out there?

Hi @jrg,

dist: focal
addons:
  apt:
    packages:
      - wget

before_install:
  - wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl1.1/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
  - sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

Try this in your .travis.yml, this should do it. To my knowledge security updates for this library have stopped; deprecated.
