Major commit to the constraint solver

Aha. Yes, I did click on one of those links, and my browser was fine: but the displayed log was simply truncated at 10,000 lines, which removed all the interesting stuff.
Moving the tip to the top, just under "What does it do?", and giving a bit more navigation info, would be a good plan.
thanks
Simon

| We build everything twice, once with -DDEBUG and once without.
| Therefore, at the bottom of the page you were looking at (presumably
| https://travis-ci.org/ghc/ghc/builds/39856856),
| there are two links named 617.1 and 617.2. These take you to the build
| log, e.g. https://travis-ci.org/ghc/ghc/jobs/39856857
|
| But: Travis tries to prettify the logs using plenty of JavaScript,
| this will easily bring your browser to its knees. So the trick is:
| After following the link, and while the page is loading, in the top
| right corner look for the square with the three horizontal lines. This
| link takes to to a text-only view of the logs, e.g.
| https://s3.amazonaws.com/archive.travis-ci.org/jobs/39856857/log.txt
|
| (The latter is mentioned on
| https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Travis, but maybe not very
| visible. I could add a paragraph describing the steps to reach the
| logs.)
|
| By the way, you can usually find your branch on the Build History
| (https://travis-ci.org/ghc/ghc/builds) directly, if it has been built
| recently. The column „Commit“ mentions the branch its on.
|
| Greetings,
| Joachim
