So the situation is 1) The buildbot will catch dependencies with compile errors, but only after the package has been pushed, and there is no easy way for packagers to check that this won't happen
2) There are many important packages that will pass a compile check but not a runtime check. Well, 2 seems like a hard problem to solve. But 1) could be solved by having a candidate snapshot hackage that can be cloned at will, and buildbotted against, no? 2010/4/23 Erik de Castro Lopo <mle...@mega-nerd.com>: > Thomas Hartman wrote: > >> 1) Folks, what exactly is the situation with buildbots? > > If I'm not mistaken, the buildbots run *after* the package has been > pushed to hackage.
