Joachim Sounds amazing, thank you. Ignorant folk like me will need a Trac wiki page that points to the information and explains how to understand it. I don't have any idea how to interpret it, or how to use it. Thanks!

It uses GHC’s fingerprint utility and | simply tracks the change of the fingerprint file over time: | https://github.com/nomeata/ghc-complete | | The main use of this is to have a repo which I can enable to be | continuously checked by Travis (a free CI hoster). So instead of having | several people ask on IRC about what build or test suite failures are | actually not their fault, they can now simply check the travis page: | https://www.travis-ci.org/nomeata/ghc-complete/builds | | The Travis tests are a bit stripped down, in order to finish reliably | before the 50 minute timeout, see | https://github.com/nomeata/ghc-complete/blob/master/validate.sh for the | precise options. | | The log files are too large for the JavaScript enhanced view on Travis. | So if you click on a specific build result, e.g. | https://www.travis-ci.org/nomeata/ghc-complete/builds/12216328 | then better immediately browse to the raw build log (the rounded square | button in the top right corner with the four horizontal bars). | | Another use of this repo might be bisecting a problem. | | If you find this useful, I’d propose to let this run on git.haskell.org | proper, and also not as a cronjob (every 15 minutes at the moment), but | rather triggered by the actual pushes. | | On my TODO list is to make the commit messages of the repository more | useful, by including the log of the new commits in it. | | If (not sure if this is planned to that extend) eventually all related | repositories of GHC are submodules, this will have become obsolete. | Which of course is fine. | | Enjoy, | Joachim | | -- | Joachim “nomeata” Breitner | mail@joachim-breitner.de • http://www.joachim-breitner.de/ | Jabber: nomeata@joachim-breitner.de • GPG-Key: 0x4743206C | Debian Developer: nomeata@debian.org
