I don’t know if there is a quick way to check the status of a merged PR in hydra, but you can quickly check the status of a package with hydra-check
. E.g.:
$ hydra-check broot
Build Status for nixpkgs.broot.x86_64-linux on unstable
✔ broot-0.20.3 from 2020-08-28 - https://hydra.nixos.org/build/126110059
$ hydra-check python37Packages.tensorflow --short
Build Status for nixpkgs.python37Packages.tensorflow.x86_64-linux on unstable
✖ (Dependency failed) python3.7-tensorflow-1.15.2 from 2020-08-28 - https://hydra.nixos.org/build/126108991
It also has several options to e.g. pick a channel.
