The builds made by Travis are for the purpose of making sure that the
source code compiles and tests run successfully on all supported platforms.
The binaries are not used anywhere else because Travis is not a trusted

The binaries on bitcoin.org are built using the gitian process and signed
by a quorum of developers.
