Add Ubuntu 12.04 - its important, we have users on it.
Sorting by importance, starting from most important ones:
Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora, Centos, Suse

@grzanka done. How should we test those distros? For now the pipeline goes like this:

1. Install Python2/3 and pip from repo (and in repo pipelines - numpy from repo, in pip pipelines install numpy using pip) plus some extra libs like openssl...
2. Install our package beprof*.whl
3. Run python -c "import beprof" etc.

I plan on running doctests as testing step but it's a bit tricky (I have to get library installation path and so on).

Steps 1-3 looks OK. For running tests lets keep a separate discussion.
I'd also recommend generate wercker config using some script. It contains a lot of redundant code.
You can reuse some code from https://github.com/DataMedSci/beprof/blob/master/install_deps.sh for that.
