John Chee commented on THRIFT-2638:
-----------------------------------
There are at least three related but differing goals with continuous
integration including at least:
* The thrift developer perspective (for example a Haskell bug fixer): I want
to write library or compiler code and make sure it works with latest (latest
stable release and potentially even HEAD release) versions of the language.
* The packaging perspective (for example a Debian distribution package
maintaner): I want to compile the upstream source for my distribution and make
sure it works with the distribution packages (stable or older versions of the
language).
* The thrift release manager (or anyone who wants to ensure broad
compatibility of thrift): I want to support versions X, Y, and Z of language A,
version M and N of language B... etc. for thrift release Q.R.S
The multi-version GHC travis configuration I think is the most flexible and
with minor modification for each use case could cover all of them.
This begs the question whether both a _release_ travis configuration and a
_development_ travis configuration are necessary. Haskell is a relatively fast
moving language so these issues might affect other languages to a lesser degree.
