Re: [Haskell-cafe] haskell-ci problems

Huh, I think there must be something amiss between mail.haskell.org and GMail. I have not received your message from 4:05 PM at all, nor the message from Tom Ellis that I see at https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2021-November/134848.html. Am Sa., 13.

Off-topic, would it be possible to reduce the latency of mail.haskell.org?

It's quite frustrating if your message is a dupe and even more if it seems as if the other person ignored your message and wrote the stuff one again. While, in fact, the messages were 10 minutes in flight and then arrived in reverse order.

BTW, Sven, my sources say, running `haskell-ci 'github'` as opposed to `haskell-ci 'travis'` may give better results.

I can just offer testing haskell-ci patches etc.

Thank you. I'm sure other haskell-ci contributors can use this help, if they read this. In general, that's a great idea, supporting our developers in other ways than just code contributions, e.g., via general positivity, appreciation, goodwill, expressions of hope, uplifting user stories. They are bombarded with (impersonal) negativity all the time via bug reports.

The project I used as a trial balloon for haskell-ci is really dead simple, how are other projects handling this? It must be an extremely common use case, and I doubt that everybody writes the workflows by hand: This would be silly, basically all needed information is already in the .cabal file.

I'm afraid, since hvr stopped updating the PPA images (and other things), the Haskell tool ecosystem is in the very sorry and silly state you describe. Given that at this stage it's too late to help hvr, let's make sure to support Julian with ghcup (and other things) so that our ecosystem doesn't break up again, once we port haskell-ci to ghcup (if I'm guessing correctly where haskell-ci is going).

Other projects like e.g. lens seem to use haskell-ci successfully, see https://github.com/ekmett/lens/blob/master/.github/workflows/haskell-ci.yml. But that YAML file looks quite a bit different from what haskell-ci has generated for my project. Why?

Because it's been edited by hand for 11 months.

As usual, the Haskell tool ecosystem is giving me a hard time... :´-(

I sympathise.

All the best, Mikolaj
