Glasgow Haskell Compiler builder machinein category Applications & Software

Project Proposal
I would like to propose using one EfikaMX as a dedicated Glasgow Haskell Compiler[1] builder machine[2]. Currently I'm running x86/opensolaris builder for Glasgow Haskell Compiler community[3] and such thing is quite useful to catch newly introduced bugs. With ARM/EfikaMX this will be even more important, since none is testing regularly GHC builds on ARM hardware platform. I'm trying to do this myself from time to time on GCC Compile Farm, but unfortunately although it provides three efikas it's not enough and usually boxes are either overloaded or some of them are switched off putting remaining even on higher developer pressure. So having one EfikaMX for GHC builds would be great, at least I would be able to report bugs more sooner[4,5]. Thanks for considering this.Karel
