All successful, non-garbage-collected builds in the evaluation are
passed in a attribute set. So if you declare a Hydra input named
‘foo’ of type ‘eval’, you get a set with members ‘foo.<jobname>’. For
instance, if you passed a Nixpkgs eval as an input named ‘nixpkgs’,
then you could get the Firefox build for x86_64-linux as
‘nixpkgs.firefox.x86_64-linux’.
Inputs of type ‘eval’ can be specified in three ways:
* As the number of the evaluation.
* As a jobset identifier (‘<project>:<jobset>’), which will yield the
latest finished evaluation of that jobset. Note that there is no
guarantee that any job in that evaluation has succeeded, so it might
not be very useful.
* As a job identifier (‘<project>:<jobset>:<job>’), which will yield
the latest finished evaluation of that jobset in which <job>
succeeded. In conjunction with aggregate jobs, this allows you to
make sure that the evaluation contains the desired builds.
This reverts commit 2d7e106d293c7e81b4b0b333d256aef0490ea1bc.
Unfortunately some jobsets still depend on this behaviour. They could
probably do something like "assert system == input.system; ..." but
changing them all is undesirable.
Aggregate constituents are derivations. However there can be multiple
builds in an evaluation that have the same derivation, i.e. they can
alias each other (e.g. "emacs", "emacs24" and "emacs24Packages.emacs"
in Nixpkgs). Previously we picked a build arbitrarily for the
AggregateConstituents table. Now we pick the one with the shortest
name (e.g. "emacs").
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.
Previously, for scheduled builds, "timestamp" contained the time the
build was added to the queue, while for finished builds, it was the
time the build finished. Now it's always the former.
Build product paths cannot reference locations outside of the Nix
store. We previously disallowed paths from being symlinks, but this
didn't take into account that parent path elements can be symlinks as
well. So a build product /nix/store/bla.../foo/passwd, with
/nix/store/bla.../foo being a symlink to /etc, would still work.
So now we check all paths encountered during path resolution.
Symlinks are allowed again so long as they point to the Nix store.
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.
It's pointless to store these, since Nix knows where the logs are.
Also handle (in fact require) Nix's new log storage scheme. Also some
cleanups in the build page.
