Config::Any uses Module::Pluggable to seach for plugins, so it needs
the patched Module::Pluggable in Nixpkgs (rather than the one in Perl
itself) to properly find plugins in symlink trees created by buildEnv.
For some reason, hg clone from a local (path-based) repo will fail if
the parent directory of the destination directory doesn't exist (though
it succeeds when cloning from an http repo).

Previously, for scheduled builds, "timestamp" contained the time the
build was added to the queue, while for finished builds, it was the
time the build finished. Now it's always the former.
The revision counting changes depending on which revision is cloned
initially, so clone the default branch first and then checkout the
required revision to match hydra's revCount.

See e.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/4915744.
P.S. existing active build steps of finished builds can be marked as
aborted by running:
update buildsteps set busy = 0, status = 4
where (build, stepnr) in
(select s.build, s.stepnr from buildsteps s join builds b on s.build = b.id where b.finished = 1 and s.busy = 1);
This is mostly so we don't have to pass around common parameters like
"db" and "config", and we don't have to check for the existence of
methods.
A plugin now looks like this:
package Hydra::Plugin::TwitterNotification;
use parent 'Hydra::Plugin';
sub buildFinished {
my ($self, $build, $dependents) = @_;
print STDERR "tweeting about build ", $build->id, "\n";
# Send tweet...
# Hydra database is $self->{db}.
}
You can now add plugins to Hydra by writing a module called
Hydra::Plugin::<whatever> and putting it in Perl's search path. The
only plugin operation currently supported in buildFinished, called
when hydra-build has finished doing a build.
For instance, a Twitter notification plugin would look like this:
package Hydra::Plugin::TwitterNotification;
sub buildFinished {
my ($self, $db, $config, $build, $dependents) = @_;
print STDERR "tweeting about build ", $build->id, "\n";
# send tweet...
}
1;
Previously this function didn't actually have a lot of effect. If a
build A had a dependency B, Hydra would start B first. But on the
next scan through the queue, it would start A anyway, because of the
"busy => 0" restriction.
Now the queue runner won't start a build if a dependency is already
running. (This is not necessarily optimal, since the build may have
other dependencies that don't correspond to a build in the queue but
could run. One day we'll start all Hydra builds in parallel...)
Also, for performance, use computeFSClosure instead of "nix-store
-qR". And don't bother with topological sorting because it didn't
have an effect anyway since the database returns dependencies in
arbitrary order.
This allows checking a jobset (say) at most once a day. It's also
possible to disable polling by setting the interval to 0. This is
useful for jobsets that use push notification or are manually
evaluated.
This caused exceptions like:
Caught exception in Hydra::Controller::Build->view_build "writing to file: Broken pipe at /nix/store/ihdb3widsq1dk7sbl5vqjxfcxb5ypad4-hydra-0.1pre1297-8158093/libexec/hydra/lib/Hydra/Controller/Build.pm line 59."
because the connection to the Nix daemon would be terminated due to a
protocol violation (calling queryPathInfo with an empty string).
