Hi, I saw a link to here from travis-ci/travis-ci#6300
At the risk of suggesting something without fully understanding it, let me ask a question about travis "community cookbooks" which I saw here: https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-cookbooks/tree/master/community-cookbooks
It appears to me that some languages have extra cookbooks here, like java, php, and I dimly remember ghc (haskell) being here also when I looked at it first, although I don't see that now.
Would it be helpful if there were community-maintained cookbooks for various versions of gcc / clang? The idea would be to follow gcc / clang dev instructions to build from source, and not link to system standard library like e.g. debian packages do, but an independent instance in home directory. Getting a C++11 conforming standard library is one of the biggest ticket items I would say for C++ support.
