ghc-compete, a repository of fingerprints, and continuous integration
Dear Devs, in the best scratch-an-itch-tradition I have created a special git repository, called “ghc-complete”, which tracks the combined state of all GHC-related repositories. 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.

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!
