Joachim Breitner has set up Travis-CI. (I don't know exactly what that is, but it sounds useful.)
Travis is a free cloud service that runs arbitrary tests (in our case, a stripped version of validate) upon pushes to git repositories on github. I set it up to validate our master, so we get a nice history of successes and failures on https://travis-ci.org/nomeata/ghc-complete/builds and I get mails when things fail; that is when I send hopefully polite enough mails to ghc-dev, asking people to fix their commits.
What's more, we also have TravisCI set-up for the various libraries/* sub-packages, to make sure they work as announced by their respective .cabal files with older GHC/base-version configurations (so if anybody pushes a commit that breaks that contract, email notifications are sent out), here's a non-exhaustive list of examples: - https://travis-ci.org/ghc/packages-process - https://travis-ci.org/ghc/packages-unix - https://travis-ci.org/ghc/packages-hpc - https://travis-ci.org/ghc/packages-parallel - https://travis-ci.org/ghc/packages-deepseq Cheers, hvr
