Hi folks:

I have successfully built Ian Lynagh's GHC builder on Ubuntu and
SmartOS and I would like to offer build slaves based on Carter's
mirroring of the code to https://github.com/cartazio/ghc-builder.

I can offer several build slaves, but I'm not sure what the process is.

How do I run multiple build slaves?

Do I need a separate username for each?

Is there a username convention?

The suggestion at https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Builder is
that I post a username and password to ghc at .  There are two issues
with this:

 1. ghc@ does not exist as far as I can tell
 2. Posting a password to a mailing list will make it publicly
accessible and allow others to impersonate my build slaves

I am happy to send this information if the admins of the GHC builder
infrastructure are comfortable with the risks. Alternatively, I am
able to send this via GPG encrypted email given the public key and
email of an admin.

Feel free to contact me on or off list about this.

Best,
Alain
