How did you write/generate this? How can someone else update it? It would be good to record this info in the repo.

I just wanted to try using https://github.com/uraimo/run-on-arch-action

Still trying to get it to work.

Edit: Well, it worked but took almost 3 hours...

The caching of the install part seems to not be working. The error message is

error from registry: installation not allowed to Create organization package

I can see that it works fine for text and bytestring, e.g. https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/packages

It might be something to do with workflow permissions for this repository which I don't have access to. @treeowl maybe you can do something about this?

Edit: Maybe it needs to run from the master branch to have permissions create the package. In that case we can merge this and see if it works.

Anyway, I've managed to get the running time down from 171m to 54m. Any ideas to improve it further are welcome.

I can see that text and bytestring avoid using cabal (like this). I don't know if that is faster, but I don't want to go that far.

I just saw your last couple comments. I've upgraded you to a "maintainer" role, so you should now have all the powers I do. You may have to merge to get things kicked off; I'm not sure.

Where does all this come from, and what maintenance will it need? I still don't see documentation on that.

[meooow25]

I'm not sure what you wish to be documented. It's configuration for a GitHub Action.

Thanks! But I still don't see anything about workflow permissions in the setting. Let's see if it works after it's merged...
