Another question regarding broken packages

[gurkan]

Hi there
I’ve just upgraded to 20.03, but apparently one of the packages I use (and maintain) marked as broken on 20.03 branch, but not on master.
I failed to find or reproduce the issue, so I have some questions:

• How can I trace this commit back to the hydra job/jobset (I assume) which decided it was broken?
• I’ve allowed broken packages on my system and it built/worked correctly:
  • Should I just wait for a new evaluation (which would also automatically remove broken meta)?
  • If it won’t happen automatically (ಠ_ಠ) shall I open a PR/issue?

Thanks, and double thanks for all the work, 20.03 looks rad

I’d send you link to ZERO HYDRA FAILURE, which had details on the issue, but it seems GitHub is having some issues so I’ll just reiterate here.

How can I trace this commit back to the hydra job/jobset (I assume) which decided it was broken?

Each package will have a job on hydra:

• Hydra - nixos:release-20.03 (release-20.03)
• https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixos/trunk-combined#tabs-jobs (master)

However, exploring hydra UI can be slow so example urls for a package would be like:

• Hydra - nixos:release-20.03:nixpkgs.bash.x86_64-linux (release-20.03)
• Hydra - nixos:trunk-combined:nixpkgs.bash.x86_64-linux (master)

I’ve allowed broken packages on my system and it built/worked correctly:

• Should I just wait for a new evaluation (which would also automatically remove broken meta)?
• If it won’t happen automatically (ಠ_ಠ) shall I open a PR/issue?

This isn’t automatic “yet”, so you can open a PR removing the attribute against the release-20.03 branch.

Yep, hydra UI is a bit painful But thanks for all the info I’ll dig around and open a PR for (hopefully multiple) false-positives.
