Wael, I don't know much at all about travis (I gather that it's some
sort of continuous integration test tool), but grabbing very specific
zlib packages from a place on the 'net and then installing them seems
fragile.

- What happens when those are no longer the right version numbers?
- What happens when those versions are already provided by the standard
  repository?
- What happens when newer versions are provided by the standard
  repository?
- What happens if travis runs start happening on (say) an arm64 machine?

I realise that you might answer "I will keep this up to date", but we
have to worry about what happens if you lose interest and wander away.

What is required to get the updated (as I presume that is what they are)
versions of zlib into the normal package repositories? Is it possible to
specify that travis should use the equivalent of Debian testing or
experimental repositories?
