Hi everybody, The 2.4 release experience is teaching us to work harder on quality control. There are at least three pieces to this puzzle:
* Policy: support only last two GHC releases * Coordination: staging releases * Automation: buildbot! We are using buildbot to catch a lot of bugs early on, but we still need to be much more systematic about buildbot coverage. We need your help! As a bare minimum, we should cover the 32 bit versions of Windows, MacOS X and Linux, with the last two major GHC versions for each one. These are still very modest objectives, but it would still be an improvement over our predominantly Linux-centric setup. Windows GHC 6.10 (Petr) Windows GHC 6.12 <-- HELP NEEDED MacOS X GHC 6.10 (Thorkil? currently GHC 6.8) MacOS X GHC 6.12 <-- HELP NEEDED Linux GHC 6.10 (Petr) Linux GHC 6.12 (Petr) Can we have at least two volunteers please? We need somebody with a Windows box and one with a Mac. In the future, we could branch out into 64 bit and also into multiple versions of each OS. But let's attend to this core set for now. All you need is (i) a machine that's almost always on and (ii) some willingness to administer your machine when something should occasionally go wrong. If you're willing to spare of its cycles (and some of your attention), we can help you with the technical aspects of setting it up. For a preview of what's entailed, see http://wiki.darcs.net/Development/BuildBot It's basically just 3 steps to get started. Help wanted! Thanks!
