1) The buildbot will catch dependencies with compile errors, but only after the package has been pushed, and there is no easy way for packagers to check that this won't happen
Don't forget, there are valid reasons why hackage will sometimes fail to build a package: missing C libraries, wrong operating system, etc. Also, it would be nice if the build bot separates the building test from the haddock generation: I've seen quite a few packages where it builds successfully but then _haddock_ fails for one reason or another, thus breaking the package. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
