 Replying to [comment:2 teor]:
 > This ticket involves two tasks:
 > * add another stage to tor's travis config that runs chutney
 (eventually, tor's second stage could run RAM usage, performance, and
 other runtime tests)
 Stages and jobs on Travis [https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/build-stages
 /#data-persistence-between-stages-and-jobs don't share storage], so I
 think we'd have to find a way to persist stuff if we want to try this.
 > * add a travis config to chutney that installs whichever tor is
 available in the package manager, then runs a chutney verify. We should
 run chutney tests on python 2 and 3, and Linux and macOS
 Sounds good. At least on Debian OSes, the system tor package seems to
 start a tor daemon by default. I'm not sure we want this.
