Hi Ben,
Hi Gabor,
I was wondering why my pull request (merely to trigger a bit more of CI than what I have at my local disposal) was suddenly failing (1), when it worked in a previous incarnation (2).
It turns out that either CI or the entire tree is broken since (3) being the last sound one.
Indeed CircleCI recently revised their billing policies and consequently we have lost the ability to use the large instance sizes which we were previously using for our builds. Sadly GHC builds do not reliably finish on the instances we still do have access to due to memory and build time constraints. It appears that this may be the cause of the failures in your build (1). This billing change was the reason why I have been moving our CI infrastructure to GitLab. Unfortunately in the chaos it looks like I neglected to forward the ghc-devops thread describing the situation [2] to ghc-devs. Sorry for the confusion! I'm going to draft a summary email describing the state of the GitLab transition right now. Cheers, - Ben [2] https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devops-group/2018-December/000273.htm...
