@japaric What do you think about this? I think it makes it much clearer & easier to configure the base targets.

Thanks for the PR, @fenollp.

I think it makes it much clearer & easier to configure the base targets.

The "default target" is an artifact of the current implementation. It's used to specify the TARGET of the job that runs even when the matrix (in .travis.yml) is empty. I would prefer if it didn't exist and every single target would have to be specified in the matrix. Hopefully #63 will fix that.

In summary, I'll prefer to merge #63 instead of this PR.

I think both PRs can work together: as you quoted, this PR is about defining base targets.
I find it time saving to just have to define the base target of each arch (osx, linux) only once.

defining base targets.

What do base targets mean?

I find it time saving to just have to define the base target of each arch (osx, linux) only once.

That would still be the case with the othe PR (you only have to specify a target once but all targets must appear in the matrix section). OTOH, this PR adds more knobs (two env variables) for no apparent gain AFAICS.
