I'd just like to query the status of the nightly builds. Is anything happening in that area? [1] is right on the front page of the GHC Trac even though no builds were ran for ~5 months. Perhaps it should be moved out of the way if there's no plan to resume these in the near future.
just to clarify: For what purpose do you want the nightlies? To check whether GHC validates cleanly, to compare performance numbers, or to get hold of up-to-date binary distributions? For the first, I’d really really like to see something that runs before a change enters master, so that non-validating mistakes like http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/commitdiff/b26e2f92c5c6f77fe361293a128da637e7... (without the corresponding change in http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/commitdiff/59f491a933ec7380698b776e14c3753c2a...) do not reach master in the first place. I’m happy to help setting up such an infrastructure, including designing the precise workflow. For the second and third, a build farm like the builders would of course be great. I actually once got a Igloo snowboall from Linaro for that purpose, but never finished setting it up properly. So once the builders are going to be revived, I’d like to finally do that.
