Hello all, A cumulative status update will now appear, to summarize a few things that have happened in the past little while since I've been somewhat absent and short on time. - 7.8.3 is looming, because we have a lot of bugfixes as I said last week: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Status/GHC-7.8.3 That's nearly 30 tickets axed in the past few weeks since 7.8.2, so not bad! As I said before, I'm eager to release sooner rather than later as my time is short. Do keep weighing in if you have anything to say or want something fixed. Now is really the time! - AMP/ORF - these are still on branches, but me and Simon have gotten hung up on a few things delaying it. They'll go in soon, promise! (For certain definitions of 'soon', cooperating with time schedules). AMP in particular can probably land very, very soon. Otherwise we're past a lot of other churn, like removing external core and whatnot. - I merged a bunch of patches this morning to the 7.8 branch, bringing it close to what I expect we will ship 7.8.3 with. Again, pester me soon if you want something! - There's now a proper CI link for GHC on Trac so people don't lose it. The new builders are checking in regularly, so please watch out for them - and subscribe to ghc-builds@haskell.org if you haven't already. - Some other churn in the tree has not yet passed; I still need to improve and land my performance patches for copies, for example. - XCode 5.1 has introduced some other breaking changes I'll need to fix (things *work*, but the testsuite is useless due to the warning spewage), along with merging the remaining patches. - Also, if you have spare hardware, please email Gabor Pali (or just email the list itself, or reply to this thread) if you're willing to donate, that would be awesome. Another Mac OS X target would be especially welcome, I think (my development machine is on loan right now), and I will have better dedicated Windows targets soon. I'll send another email about 7.8.3 shortly. -- Regards, Austin Seipp, Haskell Consultant Well-Typed LLP, http://www.well-typed.com/

Drats, I forgot that. Here's where it is:
Go to the GHC Trac hompeage: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ and
scroll down just a tiny bit. There's a section called 'Nightly builds'
with the updated link to the new UI, located on Gabor's server:
http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/builders/
Simon, did we talk about adding this to the sidebar? Or maybe we
should just highlight it on the front page a little more, and then
link to it from somewhere else on the sidebar (like "Building Guide"
links to the builder page).

The obvious place to put it is on the "Status reports" page, which is one click from the side bar. A new heading with link to the nightly builds or Travis or whatever, and some description about how to interpret the information you find.

Hi,
- Also, if you have spare hardware, please email Gabor Pali (or just email the list itself, or reply to this thread) if you're willing to donate, that would be awesome. Another Mac OS X target would be especially welcome, I think (my development machine is on loan right now), and I will have better dedicated Windows targets soon.
I have one Mac Pro to build GHC. But it is behind a firewall. Is this useful for this purpose? --Kazu
I can build on my Mac. Happy to do so since I'll be doing anyways :-)

If it can reach the server (haskell.inf.elte.hu) on port 4938 then you are probably good to go. The other requirement would be to able to run 24/7 so the clients could do their work seamlessly.
