Sigh, I of course meant xenial.

I just had a chat with spice folks and learnt that gitlab.com provides
a CI system with free shared runners. The key difference from travis,
is that gitlab supports a choice of docker images to use, but does not
support os-x.

So we could drop ubuntu from travis, leaving just the os-x builder,
and enable use of some docker images under gitlab, to get an equiv
level of coverage.

In fact I wonder if we can reuse the ansible scripts we have to build
suitable docker images ?

Daniel
