You can use the URL
http://<hydra-server>/api/push-github
as GitHub's WebHook URL. Hydra will automatically trigger an
evaluation of all affected jobsets.
We once turned these off (in commit
abe71a767b266a157836c0fd45330ec415720bef) because they caused the
PostgreSQL query optimizer to use very suboptimal plans. However,
PostgreSQL 9.2 has supposedly fixed this:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/release-9-2.html
So let's try again.
External machines can now notify Hydra that it should check a
repository by sending a GET or PUSH request to /api/push, providing a
list of jobsets to be checked and/or a list of repository URLs. In
the latter case, all jobsets that have any of the specified
repositories as an input will be checked.
For instance, you can configure GitHub or BitBucket to send a request
to the URL
http://hydra.example.org/api/push?repos=git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git
to trigger evaluation of all jobsets that have
git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git as an input, or to the URL
http://hydra.example.org/api/push?jobsets=patchelf:trunk,nixpkgs:trunk
to trigger evaluation of just the specified jobsets.
Otherwise you can do
ln -s /etc/passwd $out/foo
echo "file misc $out/foo" >> $out/nix-support/hydra-build-products
and get Hydra to serve its /etc/passwd file.
Set a click handler on the table instead of on every row. This should
be faster on large tables. Also, it's easier to use: you just set the
clickable-rows class on the table, and the row-link class on the <a>
element that contains the "main" link of the row.
You can now just click on the evaluation link on the first tab to see
all builds in the same jobset. This also makes rendering build pages
quite a bit faster for jobsets like Nixpkgs.
