Thanks for the PR! I have restarted some travis builds which failed due to transient network errors. |

I have a question about this. Wouldn't it be better to have pagmo depend on all optional packages instead and enable them unconditionally in the build script for Arch linux?

I see the reasoning behind that, but I don't want users to install packages that they have no need for. Let's say I have a package which has 100 optional dependencies, but I only need to use 1 of them. I don't want the hassle of the rest of the 99 packages. Rather I should build only based on what the current system has. They are optional for a reason and I would like to keep it that way, unless if they are required by the CMakelists.txt from the source and the build fails without them.
Although I would like the optional dependency check to happen inside the CMakelists instead of the package management level. But I understand that is against this project's policy, based on #276 .
