Hydra nixpkgs-22.05-darwin not running?

https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-22.05-darwin

Last evaluation and check was 7 days ago, on 2022-11-15. Why is this? It’s not clear to me why, or how I would find out why, or aid remedying it. Thanks!

We have been having trouble with build power on darwin with recent large scale changes, so the jobset was temporarily disabled (or rather stopped from scheduling evaluations).

After the current staging-next 22.05 iteration the binary cache for darwin should be populated again and it is planned to re-enable the jobset after merging that.

BTW, this is not the first time recently:

Thanks for the replies.

How to know that it is disabled? On the configuration page it has “State: Enabled”. A recent time this happened the jobset was, I think, shown as disabled in NixOS Hydra.

It would perhaps be nice to have a log of this sort of thing (or maybe there is and I don’t know where it is) to improve understanding from the outside.

The scheduling interval is negative which is a trick to allow for temporarily disable a jobset creating evaluations without too much disruption.

I’ve been adding the minus sign there because:

  • the value of the timer isn’t lost that way (contrary to using 0 as usual)
  • manual trigger still works (contrary to making the jobset disabled)
