Attendees: @roberth @fricklerhandwerk @edolstra @tomberek @Ericson2314
Agenda
- Hacking guide update for running the functional tests in NixOS VM (PR)
- GitHub Actions builds are failing
-
@Ericson2314: since the Meson-built package was added to outputs it seems that there are too many builds running in parallel so it runs out of memory
- the worst is that it looses all the logs in that case
- (some discussion on whether and how to get rid of Hydra and generally two systems for testing, building, caching)
-
@Ericson2314: arguably we should have either something self-hosted or know the people who run it
- right now we have to guess what’s actually going on
- everything open source is the gold standard, but we have to get it to work now
- @fricklerhandwerk: we have Buildbot on NGIpkgs, and that works nicely, but it takes effort to set up, and we currently don’t have that capacity available
-
@roberth offered to set up Hercules
- @edolstra added the app
- @zimbatm offered to set up garnix
