Description
For convenience and to keep required maintenance efforts low, we build on Travis CI on the latest supported Ubuntu LTS distro.
Unfortunately, there's older distros which this distro (as of writing, Ubuntu xenial) is incompatible with ABI wise. This means that our released AppImages can't easily be run on those platforms.
Normally, they can be built fine, since we use only C++11, which is supported in e.g., CentOS 7 out of the box.
We should consider offering special builds for older distros. A suitable target is CentOS 7, but if possible CentOS 6 might be not much more work but increases compatibility even further.
