Setting
xxx-jobset-repeats = patchelf:master:2
will cause Hydra to perform every build step in the specified jobset 2
additional times (i.e. 3 times in total). Non-determinism is not fatal
unless the derivation has the attribute "isDeterministic = true"; we
just note the lack of determinism in the Hydra database. This will
allow us to get stats about the (lack of) reproducibility of all of
Nixpkgs.
Currently I'm using a (not very well) downscaled version of the NixOS
logo, so we want to replace it by a proper image ASAP.
Other than that, the idea is to have something like this in
hydra-build-products:
file channel $out/channel.tar.bz2
Right now of course, it's only displayed at the corresponding builds, so
we might want to have aggregates on all channels for a project, jobset
or maybe even single jobs?

Builds can now emit metrics that Hydra will store in its database and
render as time series via flot charts. Typical applications are to
keep track of performance indicators, coverage percentages, artifact
sizes, and so on.
For example, a coverage build can emit the coverage percentage as
follows:
echo "lineCoverage $pct %" > $out/nix-support/hydra-metrics
Graphs of all metrics for a job can be seen at
http://.../job/<project>/<jobset>/<job>#tabs-charts
Specific metrics are also visible at
http://.../job/<project>/<jobset>/<job>/metric/<metric>
The latter URL also allows getting the data in JSON format (e.g. via
"curl -H 'Accept: application/json'").
There are quite a lot of build outputs which have lines with a length
exceeding the width of the taillog <pre/> and thus visually produce more
lines than 50. This causes the tail "box" to change height frequently
and to get to the bottom you need to scroll down.
We now set a fixed line-height to 120% of the font size and cap the
maximum height based on that value (50 * 1.2 = 60). It's probably not
nice to override the line-height, but max-lines is currently only
available using browser-specific property names. But after all it's just
for the tail output, if people complain about the line-height, we can
still change it :-)

Currently the dashboard allows users to get a quick overview of the
status of jobs they're interested in, but more will be added,
e.g. viewing all your jobsets or all jobs of which you're a
maintainer.
There are jobsets that are evaluated only once, that is, after they've
been evaluated, they're disabled automatically. This is primarily
useful for doing releases: for instance, doing an evaluation with
"officialRelease" set to "true" should be done only once.
