Dear DSA and armel porters, the upstream of GHC, the main Haskell compiler, treats some of our architectures on a best-effort basis, but it is not guaranteed that released versions will work across all architectures, even things like this can happen, where a change breaking it on arm was introduced after the last release candidate¹.
Things would be easier for everyone if the GHC HEAD would be automatically and regularly built on an arm machine. They do have an infrastructure for automated builds². Is it acceptable use of a Debian machine to do so – after all it will automatically download (SSL-verified) and run code? And is there a machine that I could use for that? I think normally, builds happen every night, but if you look at ¹ you’ll notice that this would not work out. But having a build every week or so would already help a lot.
