The nightly builds are running on machines at MSR. They're behind a firewall/proxy, so even getting them to send out nightly emails was a chore. I was planning on turning off the nightlies before I leave since they frequently break (for example when libffi was moved into its own repo everything broek) and there will no longer be anyone around to fix the breakage. I was going to set up new nightly builds somewhere else and put some effort into improving them. Ideally we can move to a uniform build infrastructure by integrating with what is handled by darcs.haskell.org. I haven't taken the time to look at that code, though...are you familiar with it? I agree that we could use some more automation support. Geoff On 08/09/2013 01:15 AM, Edward Z. Yang wrote:
Hey Geoffrey,
The nightly builds are running on your box, correct? How hard would it be to modify the nightly scripts so that they also output machine-readable information about the build? For example, we could then setup a fingerprint database, where given some revision of head, you could find out if it built, and what the hashes of all the repositories it built with were.
