This prevents the server from gradually filling up due to store paths
fetched by hydra-server that then get turned into a GC root by
hydra-update-gc-roots.
Dashboards can now be marked as publically visible in the user
preferences. The dashboard URL has changed from /user/<name>/dashboard
to /dashboard/<name> because /user/<name> requires being logged in as
<name> or as an admin.
This allows fully declarative project specifications. This is best
illustrated by example:
* I create a new project, setting the declarative spec file to
"spec.json" and the declarative input to a git repo pointing
at git://github.com/shlevy/declarative-hydra-example.git
* hydra creates a special ".jobsets" jobset alongside the project
* Just before evaluating the ".jobsets" jobset, hydra fetches
declarative-hydra-example.git, reads spec.json as a jobset spec,
and updates the jobset's configuration accordingly:
{
"enabled": 1,
"hidden": false,
"description": "Jobsets",
"nixexprinput": "src",
"nixexprpath": "default.nix",
"checkinterval": 300,
"schedulingshares": 100,
"enableemail": false,
"emailoverride": "",
"keepnr": 3,
"inputs": {
"src": { "type": "git", "value": "git://github.com/shlevy/declarative-hydra-example.git", "emailresponsible": false },
"nixpkgs": { "type": "git", "value": "git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git release-16.03", "emailresponsible": false }
}
}
* When the "jobsets" job of the ".jobsets" jobset completes, hydra
reads its output as a JSON representation of a dictionary of
jobset specs and creates a jobset named "master" configured
accordingly (In this example, this is the same configuration as
.jobsets itself, except using release.nix instead of default.nix):
{
"enabled": 1,
"hidden": false,
"description": "js",
"nixexprinput": "src",
"nixexprpath": "release.nix",
"checkinterval": 300,
"schedulingshares": 100,
"enableemail": false,
"emailoverride": "",
"keepnr": 3,
"inputs": {
"src": { "type": "git", "value": "git://github.com/shlevy/declarative-hydra-example.git", "emailresponsible": false },
"nixpkgs": { "type": "git", "value": "git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git release-16.03", "emailresponsible": false }
}
}
makeBinPath takes care to use the correct output.
