This is fantastic work! I'm looking forward to using this.
Are there plans to merge GitLab's fork of head.hackage back into the upstream repo [1]? I ask since I regularly submit patches to upstream, but if the GitLab CI is using the fork, then it may take some time for upstream changes to make their way back to the fork.
Yes, if it's okay with Herbert I think this branch should be merged upstream. We might also consider going even further: making gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/head.hackage the upstream repository. If we don't do this I would likely need to maintain a "stable" branch alongside `master` to ensure that the head.hackage build doesn't break due to bad patches landing in `master`. Moving the upstream to GitLab would avoid this since all patches landed would go through CI. Cheers, - Ben
