Support GHC nightlies obtained via ghcup #665

Wait, |
The action is marked as passing: https://github.com/haskell-CI/haskell-ci/actions/runs/5754864293, but the PR&commit are not #671 That is silly, and there is issue https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/15452 about it. |
This is also blocked on haskell/ghcup-metadata#149 (comment)
though in In other words, until GHC folks themself explicitly says (e.g. somewhere in GHC wiki) that the nighties can be used for (automated) testing (which I think they did, so I'm getting mixed messages), only then I'll reconsider using nightlies. Until then I close this issue, as this is blocked indefinitely for now. |
Yes, nightlies have been a failure. GHC developers have not been able to provide a reliable infrastructure for them. |
@phadej I should specify that my opinions I've shared here on this ticket only represent my personal views. :P I was unhappy with GHC Nightlies as soon as I heard about how they were implemented. I've tried to improve the situation by better clarifying their (lack of) reliability. See https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/GHC-Status#2-ghc-nightlies. Dashboard with status: https://grafana.gitlab.haskell.org/d/ab109e66-a8a1-4ae9-b976-40e2dfe281ab/availabilitie-of-ghc-nightlies-via-ghcup?orgId=2&from=1681980144490&to=1697791344490&refresh=1d |
It would be great to be able to add a job testing GHC HEAD, presumably using a new
