This allows fully declarative project specifications. This is best
illustrated by example:
* I create a new project, setting the declarative spec file to
"spec.json" and the declarative input to a git repo pointing
at git://github.com/shlevy/declarative-hydra-example.git
* hydra creates a special ".jobsets" jobset alongside the project
* Just before evaluating the ".jobsets" jobset, hydra fetches
declarative-hydra-example.git, reads spec.json as a jobset spec,
and updates the jobset's configuration accordingly:
{
"enabled": 1,
"hidden": false,
"description": "Jobsets",
"nixexprinput": "src",
"nixexprpath": "default.nix",
"checkinterval": 300,
"schedulingshares": 100,
"enableemail": false,
"emailoverride": "",
"keepnr": 3,
"inputs": {
"src": { "type": "git", "value": "git://github.com/shlevy/declarative-hydra-example.git", "emailresponsible": false },
"nixpkgs": { "type": "git", "value": "git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git release-16.03", "emailresponsible": false }
}
}
* When the "jobsets" job of the ".jobsets" jobset completes, hydra
reads its output as a JSON representation of a dictionary of
jobset specs and creates a jobset named "master" configured
accordingly (In this example, this is the same configuration as
.jobsets itself, except using release.nix instead of default.nix):
{
"enabled": 1,
"hidden": false,
"description": "js",
"nixexprinput": "src",
"nixexprpath": "release.nix",
"checkinterval": 300,
"schedulingshares": 100,
"enableemail": false,
"emailoverride": "",
"keepnr": 3,
"inputs": {
"src": { "type": "git", "value": "git://github.com/shlevy/declarative-hydra-example.git", "emailresponsible": false },
"nixpkgs": { "type": "git", "value": "git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git release-16.03", "emailresponsible": false }
}
}
This gets rid of the warning:
DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::select_single(): Query returned more than one row. SQL that returns multiple rows is DEPRECATED for ->find and ->single at /home/eelco/Dev/hydra/src/script/../lib/Hydra/Controller/Project.pm line 15
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).
The catalyst-action-rest branch from shlevy/hydra was an exploration of
using Catalyst::Action::REST to create a JSON API for hydra. This commit
merges in the best bits from that experiment, with the goal that further
API endpoints can be added incrementally.
In addition to migrating more endpoints, there is potential for
improvement in what's already been done:
* The web interface can be updated to use the same non-GET endpoints as
the JSON interface (using x-tunneled-method) instead of having a
separate endpoint
* The web rendering should use the $c->stash->{resource} data structure
where applicable rather than putting the same data in two places in
the stash
* Which columns to render for each endpoint is a completely debatable
question
* Hydra::Component::ToJSON should turn has_many relations that have
strings as their primary keys into objects instead of arrays

releases as a dynamic view on the database was misguided, since
doing thing like adding a new job to a release set will invalidate
all old releases. So we rename release sets to views, and we'll
reintroduce releases as separate, static entities in the database.
