I would like to propose the addition of
language: latex
It should not be hard, the machine preparation would be equivalent to:
language: minimal
addons:
apt:
update: true
packages:
# LaTeX decent font processor
- cm-super
# Image processing
- inkscape
# For git latexdiff
- latexdiff
# For Minted
- python-pygments
# LaTeX
- texlive-base
- texlive-bibtex-extra
- texlive-extra-utils
- texlive-fonts-recommended
- texlive-fonts-extra
- texlive-generic-recommended
- texlive-latex-extra
- texlive-latex-recommended
- texlive-publishers
- texlive-science
It should result in pdfLatex and bibtex being available as commands.
I think it would be reasonably simple to configure such environment also for osx and possibly Windows.
This configuration could be useful for academics.
I currently use it for my papers, but the environment preparation takes way longer than actual paper production (~3 minutes vs. ~20/30 seconds).
