Great!

Is there a way to view the jenkins build results somewhere?

For some reason I miss a proper homepage of stackage with links to all
the various resources (but maybe I’m blind).

No, you're not blind, I just haven't gotten things set up in that manner
yet. Specifically for GHC 7.8, there's nothing to display. Until a pull
request on HTTP is merge[1], there's nothing to show at all from the
Jenkins builds. But once that's done, it would be hard to display the
Jenkins results, since I run half the jobs from my local system, and then
the other half from the FP Complete build server. If anyone has experience
with publishing Jenkin's build reports from two different systems and
wouldn't mind helping me out, please be in touch, it would be nice to get
the information available in a more publicly-accessible manner.

Michael,

I see one of my packages is on that list, because of the upper bound on 
template-haskell. I would love the raise the upper bound, but of course only if 
it will actually build.

Can I download a binary version snapshot GHC 7.8 somewhere so I can test and 
apply changes accordingly? I actively avoid building GHC from source.

Thanks,
Sebastiaan

 Hi everyone,

 I'd like to ask two things from the community:
 
 * If you have a package with a restrictive upper bound, now's a good time to 
 start testing that package with GHC 7.8 and relaxing those upper bounds. It 
 would be great if, when GHC 7.8 is released, a large percentage of Hackage 
 already compiled with it.
 * If you have a package on Hackage that is not yet on Stackage, now's a great 
 time to add it. We're going to be doing daily builds against three versions 
 of GHC (7.4.2, 7.6.3, and 7.8), which will help ensure your packages continue 
 to build consistently.
