The aarch64-linux builders on hydra have had a good track in the last
year or so and I think it's a good idea to include them in the default
-small jobset.
This happens in preparation of improving the distribution of the
installer ISOs for aarch64-linux systems and advertise them more
prominently on the homepage.
This reverts commit 7141ab0f0b.
reverting this for now to unblock staging-next
{UNKNOWN}: aggregate job ‘tested’ failed with the error: nixpkgs.tests.packageTestsForChannelBlockers.curl.withCheck.x86_64-linux: does not exist
at /nix/store/9i92scfqz5idhmjrmjnqhrvjgyydzfns-hydra-perl-deps/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.34.0/Catalyst/Model/DBIC/Schema.pm line 526
we can't add 'nixpkgs.curl.tests' to hydra jobs due to 'tests' (and 'passthru') being stripped
TODO: add a function in lib-release.nix to get derivations and add `.x86_64-linux` to them
then we can just point release files to nixpkgs.tests.packageTestsForChannelBlockers instead of
nixpkgs.tests.packageTestsForChannelBlockers.curl.withCheck
IPv6 container support broke a while ago and we didn't notice it. Making
them part of the (small) release test set should fix that. At this point
in time they should be granted the same amount of importance as the
legacy IP tests.
Currently, when building NixOS from a git clone, Nix has to copy
the entire repo at >1GB into the store by default. That is not
necessary and causes a dumping large path message.
If you need the old behaviour for some reason, you will have to
specify it by passing the path to your repo explicitly as the
nixpkgs argument like this:
--arg nixpkgs '{outPath = ./.; revCount = 56789; shortRev = "gfedcba"; }'
Currently there are no tests that depend on the JDK. Since we don't
want a release with a broken JDK, make it an explicit dependency of
the "tested" jobs.
It now strictly evaluates all remaining attributes, preventing
unevaluated thunks that cannot be garbage-collected. It's also applied
to all jobs in Nixpkgs' release.nix.
This reduces hydra-eval-jobs' memory consumption on the 14.12
release-combined jobset from 5.1 GB to 2.0 GB.
This channel only builds a small subset of Nixpkgs, mostly suitable
for servers. Since the channel update doesn't require thousands of
packages to be built first, it should provide much faster turnaround
in case of security updates.
