latex warning
Thanks for the answers, Travis CI indeed uses an outdated system, but I actually use my own recent TeXLive installation on it, exactly because of this reason (and because I want to avoid sudo). Obviously, there is something wrong with this installation, but I am puzzled by not seeing any LaTeX errors, and R CMD check still reporting one. Maybe not all of the LaTeX output is included in the check log. Or the check incorrectly detects an error when there is none. Gabor

I often file that under "Travis has a screw loose for sticking with Ubuntu 12.04". It's a fantastic service, but it has its warts. "Word" is that at some point they'll switch to a new release "at some point". For R, we are getting by via eg R builds off the CRAN / PPA repos administered by Michael, but for some other libraries it shows its age. One can code around it if one knows how to prepare a matching .deb (cf [1] which I need to document/blog about).
