Hi Gael,

Thanks for looking into this!  I have contacted Travis few years back
about somehow enlisting neurodebian within them, but it wasn't yet the
right time to ask ;)

in the script we are not actually selecting "the right" mirror (as e.g.
now neurodebian package installer or nd-configurerepo tool within would
do based on proximity to the mirrors), but rather enlists two
repositories/mirrors.  This way we wanted to provide better robustness.

Otherwise - there is nothing really different in that script from just
enabling two repositories.

I will submit them a PR asking to add aliases for those both mirrors.

Thanks again and cheers, pass greetings to Michael ;-)
