Do you know buildbot? http://buildbot.net/trac
Yeah, it's great for some kinds of projects. For example it's used for ghc. However it is very centralised, synchronous and needs ssh on Windows.
What we've implemented is using cabal-install to generate build logs and summary info and to upload that to the hackage server. The advantage is that we should get an order or two magnitude more results than if we used a handful of buildbots.
This seems a good idea. However, it is possible for a thirdy part user to submit build logs for a specific platform? In detail: - The package author submit his package, and additional build logs for each platform he have access to - Other users can submit additional build logs for their platform I think, however, that a centralized system has its advantages. As an example, a newly submitted package can be put in a 'incoming queue', and moved to the final destination only if it builds (and tests succeed) on all the supported platforms.
