On Friday I installed the CubieTruck that is the new autobuilder
for arm. This autobuilder is hosted at [WetKnee Books](http://www.wetknee.com/),
so its physical security includes a swamp.
The hardware is not fast, but it's faster and far more stable than qemu arm
emulation. By Saturday I got the build environment all installed nicely,
including building libraries that use template haskell!
But, ghc crashed with an internal error building git-annex.
I upgraded to ghc 7.10.1 (which took another day), but it also crashed.
Was almost giving up, but I looked at the ghc parameters, and -j2 stuck
out in them. Removed the -j2, and the build works w/o crashing! \o/
(Filed [a bug report on ghc](https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10469).)
----
Anarcat has been working on improving the man pages, including lots of
linking to related commands.
The [2015 Haskell Communities and Activities Report](http://www.haskell.org/communities/05-2015/html/report.html)
is out, and includes an entry for git-annex for the first time!
