[Nix-dev] GHC 7.8 on hydra

[Gergely Risko]

Hi Peter,

GHC 7.8.3 is close to release, but can we in the meantime enable hydra
and binary cache for 7.8.2 packages?

With the switch I guess you're waiting for the packages to stabilize.

But would it be too much of a trouble to have for a little while both?

haskellPackages_ghc763_no_profiling.pipes.i686-linux
haskellPackages_ghc782_no_profiling.pipes.i686-linux

Even if some packages are broken, this way early adopters who want to
switch sooner than nixpkgs could do so without rebuilding everything
themselves.  I think that would increase the number of people who are
willing to fix small things around the 7.8 transition and therefore make
the process quicker for the rest too.

Thoughts?

Gergely
