Travis CI Triggering Multiple Builds on Push

I have a LaTeX Resume hosted here with Travis CI enabled in order to generate a new PDF on every push. You can find the Travis build info here.

I have Travis set to build on push, however every push triggers two builds: one for the push and one for a tag -- even if there is no tag. You can see an example if this behavior below:

Example double build

I tried setting on: tags to false but this didn't change anything.

How can I set Travis to only build once for each push?

Here is my .travis.yml:

before_install:
- sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends texlive-fonts-recommended
  texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-extra texlive-latex-recommended dvipng
script:
- mkdir _build
- pdflatex -output-directory _build EvanOman.tex
deploy:
  provider: releases
  api_key:
    secure: <HASHED KEY>
  file:
  - _build/EvanOman.pdf
  skip_cleanup: true
  detect_encoding: true
  on:
    tags: false
after_success:
  "curl --ftp-create-dirs -T _build/EvanOman.pdf -u $FTP_U:$FTP_P ftp://ftp.evanoman.com/public_html/EvanOman.pdf"

It turns out the error was using deploy.provider: releases.

What this does is trigger a deploy to the Github releases page for my repo. The problem was that if I pushed without a tag, Github would make a Draft release with an associated tag: untagged:<commit hash>. The addition of this new tag would then trigger another Travis build, thus the two builds for every push.

Since I am just posting the resulting PDF to my website via FTP, the solution is to remove the deploy block from my .travis.yml. Doing so removed the multiple builds per push and Travis is now behaving as I would like.

Here is my current .travis.yml:

before_install:
- sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends texlive-fonts-recommended
  texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-extra texlive-latex-recommended dvipng
script:
- mkdir _build
- pdflatex -output-directory _build EvanOman.tex
after_success:
  "curl --ftp-create-dirs -T _build/EvanOman.pdf -u $FTP_U:$FTP_P ftp://ftp.evanoman.com/public_html/EvanOman.pdf"
