Oh, good question. It was Ubuntu 12.04 LTS so I just assumed it would be too old without checking.

Re: Reproducible build recipes for GHC development VMs?
We've been using Vagrant and puppet for building GHC HEAD with some patches and GHCJS on 32 and 64 bit ubuntu. This way, rebuilding the whole VM from scratch is just one command (vagrant up), the VM can either copy files to the host, through a shared filesystem, or just use the network to report results.

Re: Reproducible build recipes for GHC development VMs?
There has been some talk of some similar stuff in the IRC channel. This would for example, be fantastic in combination with Vagrant[1], to immediately provision a machine you can begin working with even on Windows. Then you could have a GHC development environment up in minutes. On a related note, I also have some (non public) Ansible playbooks that will set up a Haskell development environment for Linux, but it's fairly primitive and doesn't quite set up a working GHC checkout (yet.)

Re: Reproducible build recipes for GHC development VMs?
Luite, Neat! That sounds perfect. If it can build/install the compiler, then it's also ready to go for validation of patches. I've never used vagrant myself but I'll give it a try. Is this the absolute easiest thing for people to do? Or should I just put a (sadly multi GB) virtual box image on my website? -Ryan On Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 10:51 AM, Luite Stegeman stege...@gmail.com wrote: We've been using Vagrant and puppet for building GHC HEAD with some patches and GHCJS on 32 and 64 bit ubuntu.

Re: Reproducible build recipes for GHC development VMs?
Vagrant is pretty easy to get up and running, with downloadable installers for Windows and OS X (install VirtualBox first), and it can be apt-get installed on ubuntu. Vagrant starts with a base VM image (~300MB I think, hosted on their servers), and lets you run a script or more elaborate provisioner to configure it to your needs. You configure the settings of the VM (networking, cpu's, shared filesystem) through the Vagrantfile script. Unfortunately there are some incompatibilities between the scripts of Vagrant 1.0 and 1.2, and I haven't made the GHCJS scripts backwards compatible with 1.0 yet (Ubuntu 12.04 comes with vagrant 1.0 in the repositories, so it would be nice to support that out of the box, instead of requiring users to download an updated .deb package) A user only has to run `vagrant up' in the directory containing the Vagrantfile. `vagrant provision` reruns the installation script, and `vagrant destroy' removes the VM. `vagrant ssh` (from this directory) logs into the vm without a password. luite On Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 4:55 PM, Ryan Newton rrnew...@gmail.com wrote: Luite, Neat!
