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.

I'd be happy to help setting this up for GHC

Hi all, 

Returning to the topic discussed by Simon M. and others here:

This is my attempt at a script for bootstrapping a GHC-validating VM:

Let me know if there's a better way, or if you'd like to help get this kind of thing into an even more accessible form (Amazon AMI, Chef recipe, etc).

Cheers,
