That would be great, both for GHC and for people who want to have their
packages work on GHC HEAD without manually monitoring it.

There is http://deb.haskell.org/ which should produce daily debian
packages for Debian wheezy. I guess if you are building on that
platform, such packages are easiest to use (as you need no particular
tooling to update and install). http://deb.haskell.org/dailies/latest/
is currently lagging due to temporary full disk, but I hope that by
tomorrow, we have a new build.

There used to be daily snapshot builds at
http://darcs.haskell.org/ghcBuilder/uploads/
but that is defuct (Can someone remove the link from
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download). I wonder if the “new” builder
infrastructure at http://haskell.inf.elte.hu/builders/ assembles the
snapshots somewhere, then you can use them.

Or you can build GHC yourself as part of the stackage run.

Greetings,
Joachim
