It's now a dropdown menu in the tabs thingy, which subsumes the
"Reproduce locally" button. This makes the actions in the menu a bit
more visible, IMHO.
Each jobset now has a "scheduling share" that determines how much of
the build farm's time it is entitled to. For instance, if a jobset
has 100 shares and the total number of shares of all jobsets is 1000,
it's entitled to 10% of the build farm's time. When there is a free
build slot for a given system type, the queue runner will select the
jobset that is furthest below its scheduling share over a certain time
window (currently, the last day). Withing that jobset, it will pick
the build with the highest priority.
So meta.schedulingPriority now only determines the order of builds
within a jobset, not between jobsets. This makes it much easier to
prioritise one jobset over another (e.g. nixpkgs:trunk over
nixpkgs:stdenv).
Due to the fixed-output derivation hashing scheme, there can be
multiple derivations of the same output path. But build logs are
indexed by derivation path. Thus, we may not be able to find the
log of a build or build step using its derivation. So as a fallback,
Hydra now looks for other derivations with the same output paths.
PostgreSQL and Perl have different sort orders, in particular when
comparing job names such as "aspell.x86_64-linux" and
"aspellDicts.cs.i686-freebsd". This confused the evaluation
comparison code, causing some jobs to appear as "removed".
So now we do all the sorting in Perl.
Fixes#105.
For presentation purposes, we need to know what builds are part of an
aggregate build. So at evaluation time, look at the "members"
attribute, find the corresponding builds in the eval, and create a
mapping in the AggregateMembers table.
It redirects to the latest successful build from a finished
evaluation. This is mostly useful for the Nixpkgs/NixOS mirroring
script, which need the latest finished evaluation in which some
aggregate job (such as ‘tested’ in NixOS) succeeded.
The NrBuilds table tracks the value of ‘select count(*) from Builds
where finished = 0’, keeping it up to date via a trigger. This is
necessary to make the /all page fast, since otherwise it needs to do a
sequential scan on the Builds table.
