hydra.nixos.org nix jobset status
- @thufschmitt Most builds end-up being aborted, rendering the dashboard mostly useless
- @edolstra they have been canceld, probably an admin canceling the non-running builds to reduce the load
Two genuine errors hidden there
Missing Boost headers on aarch64-darwin
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/245937181/nixlog/1

- Run these on Hydra for Nix releases
Relates to the idea of having some CI that tests 3d-party projects (NixOS tests, home-manager, etc…) with the latest Nix
