* Build reporting in the hackage server The idea here is that cabal sends back anonymous reports to the server to say if a package compiled or not, and against what versions of dependencies. This would make it clearer to maintainers if their dependency versions are correct. Additionally I think it would be useful for hackage to provide tweaked .cabal files for packages with updated constraints, even without new version uploads. We are proposing a GSoC project which would cover some of this.
Hmm. I guess there are 2 problems: - Privacy problem. I don't want the software to call home with data without asking. - Spoofing problem. Someone can feed wrong data easily without chance of being discovered (for example to prove how grate 'haxor' he is). Regards
