#13240: Make it easier to find builds we may want to cancel -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dfeuer | Owner: mpickering Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.4.1 Component: Trac & Git | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by dfeuer): Replying to [comment:2 nomeata]:
Is that a problem worth investing manpower in, instead of throwing computing power at it?
Also,
Someone pushed several versions of a single differential, and it seems clear that only the most recent version is likely to be of interest.
whether only the most recent version is of interest is something that we may only know later.
Yes, we would prefer to throw more computing power in, but we don't have it. And yes, it's true that there can be surprisingly interesting features in just about any build. If we had sufficient build resources, we would certainly want to run them all so we could catch those gems. But in reality our build resources are extremely limited; we have to decide between letting things pile up over the course of the day, hoping that they'll be cleared up overnight, and losing some potentially useful information. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13240#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
