Hi, Gabor Pali provides his own builder server infrastructure for now when GHC's HQ is not working. Please have a look at http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/builders/ and contact Gabor for more details (he is cced). Thanks! Karel On 04/ 1/14 09:42 AM, harry wrote: It having been suggested that a

We now have a (Linux) travis-ci buildbot so we should be able to use whatever script that buildbot runs. To make a full validate you simply check out the source repos and run: CPUS=N sh validate (CPUS=N is optional of course.) On Tue, Apr 1, 2014 at 9:42 AM, harry volderm...@hotmail.com

Friends The nightly-build infrastructure for GHC is in disarray, and we could really do with help. We really want * Continuous integration so that new test failures show up fast * Nightly builds on a variety of platforms, giving snapshots that are easy to install Originally we used

Hi Joachim: From what I understand Travis CI limits running time for each build. We may be able to create binaries of stage1 and/or stage2 in one build and test them in another. We could also fan out the test process using a Build Matrix to let GHC's full suite fit into the time limit as

Hi, I'm curious why not to use what's already written by Ian and others and which is currently running again? E.g. Janos Gabor Pali was so nice to start and keep builder server running on http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/builders/ Just few are there, but others may be added. Just send email to

hey all, I just exported the igloo builder code from darcs to git, and put it here https://github.com/cartazio/ghc-builder would this be something worth adding to github.com/haskell ? (i can easily add it if other folks it should be surfaced more visibly) On Tue, Apr 1, 2014 at 11:04 AM, Páli

Thank you Carter. I think it's reasonable to incubate it on your Github profile for now until we are certain it is fully working again. Either way works though :) Best, Alain On Apr 1, 2014, at 17:45, Carter Schonwald carter.schonw...@gmail.com wrote: hey all, I just exported the igloo
