I was about to update the crypto package when I noticed that there is now a "build log" on each package page.
What does this mean and what should I do as package maintainer?
It means there's a package builder that will try building your package after you upload it. It'll generate haddock documentation this way. Some build problems are not easy for you to prevent, like missing C libs. In this case NewBinary failed to build (due to a mistake in NewBinary's haddock markup) so Crypto also fails to configure. At the moment the package build stuff is not especially helpful to you as a package maintainer since it only gives you feedback after you've made the release and it doesn't automatically email anyone.
