This removes the "busy", "locker" and "logfile" columns, which are no
longer used by the queue runner. The "Running builds" page now only
shows builds that have an active build step.
Previously, priority bumps could take a long time to get noticed if
getQueuedBuilds() was busy processing zillions of queue
additions. (This was made worse by the reintroduction of substitute
checking.)
We have this set in upgrade-42.sql, so it's better to stay consistent
with the basic SQL file to avoid problems with new Hydra installations.

There is still a tiny window between the calls to nix-prefetch-* and
addTempRoot. This could be eliminated by adding a "-o" option to
nix-prefetch-*, or by not using those scripts at all (and use
addToStore directly).
This allows Hydra to use binaries from available binary caches. It
makes the queue monitor thread quite a bit slower, so if you don't
want to use binary caches, it's better to add "--option
build-use-substitutes false" to the hydra-queue-runner invocation.
Fixed#243.
The last paragraph states about package installation of the "following"
jobs, but it only applies to generic channels, so let's only display it
there.

So this is the final part which is needed in order to be able to deliver
custom channels, everything else is now just polishing.
We do this by simply redirecting to the build product download URL and
we use binary_cache_url the same way as in NixChannel.pm.

We should now get an overview and help text on how to add a particular
channel and also a bit of information about the builds that are required
for a channel to get upgraded.
Right now we only select the latest successful build in the latest
successful evaluation, so if someone wants to have more information about
which channel has failed, (s)he still has to look at the "Channels" tab
of the jobset.
We can make this more fancy at some later point if this is really
needed, because right now we're only interested in the latest build,
because it's the only thing necessary to deliver the channel contents.

It's actually lower-case _despite_ the spelling in the SQL file(s),
because the schema auto-generator from DBIx::Class doesn't take it into
account because it's working on SQLite and the latter seems to ignore

We want to have contents and detauls of channel expressions as well and
we already have that in product.type == file, so why not reuse the same

We now have a searchBuildsAndEvalsForJobset, which creates such a
mapping for us, so we don't need to duplicate code in jobs_tab and
channels_tab.
Also, we're going to use this for the overview of a particular channel
as well, so it makes sense to put it in CatalystUtils instead of
directly in Jobset.pm.
Instead of eval->jobs, it's now eval->builds, because it's really an
aggregate over the builds schema, rather than the job schema.

We only allow channel/latest anyway, so it really doesn't make sense to
explicitly specify this in the PathPart and provide other dispatcher
once we have more than just "latest", which greatly simplifies the
dispatch tree.

We now no longer need that additional join of the build outputs and can
solely use the isChannel column of the Builds table to determine whether
it's a channel build.

This is to properly separate channels from regular jobs and also make
sure that we can always iterate on them, no matter whether the build has
failed. The reason why we were not able to do this until now was because
we were iterating on the build products, and whenever some constituent
of a channel job has failed, we didn't get a build output.
So whenever there is a meta.isHydraChannel, we can now properly
distinguish it from the other jobs.
I still don't have any clue, why "make -C src/sql update-dbix" without
*any* modifications tries to create additional schema definitions. But
I've checked the md5sums of the existing schema definitions and they
don't seem to match, so it seems that they already have been tampered
with.

Now we can provide different channel expressions for one particular
channel build. Not sure yet how this would be useful, but I found it
more appropriate to use a type instead of a subtype of "file".
This should get us consistent with the provious commit.
Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
This is to get a bit more consistency among channel builds but doesn't
do a radical change on the display. Ideally we may want to have a
channel overview with all the constituents and a small help showing how
the user can add the channel.
Unfortunately, this also introduces an inconsistency: We previously used
the *subtype* "channel", but now we're expecting "channel" as the type
of the product, so we need to change this for the channels overview as
well.

It's very similar to "jobs" and the code is pretty much the same, except
that we don't do filtering on it. At least it doesn't waste space for a
filter option when there are usually WAY less channel jobs than ordinary
jobs.

Currently I'm using a (not very well) downscaled version of the NixOS
logo, so we want to replace it by a proper image ASAP.
Other than that, the idea is to have something like this in
hydra-build-products:
file channel $out/channel.tar.bz2
Right now of course, it's only displayed at the corresponding builds, so
we might want to have aggregates on all channels for a project, jobset
or maybe even single jobs?

They will show up in machineTypes as (e.g.) x86_64-linux:local instead
of x86_64-linux. This is to prevent the Hydra provisioner from
creating machines for steps that are supposed to be executed locally.
It's easier for the Hydra provisioner to put host public keys in the
machines file than to separately manage the known_hosts file
(especially when the provisioner runs on a different machine).
This is necessary because the required system type can become
available later (e.g. by being provisioned by the
auto-scaler). However, in the future, we may want to fail steps if
they have been unsupported for more than a certain amount of time.
For example, steps that require the "kvm" feature may require a
different kind of machine to be provisioned. This can also be used to
require performance-sensitive tests to run on a particular kind of
machine, e.g., by setting requiredSystemFeatures to something like
"ec2-i2.8xlarge".
"hydra-queue-runner --status" now prints how many runnable and running
build steps exist for each machine type. This allows additional
machines to be provisioned based on the Hydra load.
If there is no input named 'inputs', hydra-eval-jobs now passes in a set
of lists, where each attribute corresponds to an input defined in the
jobset specification and each list element is a different input alt, as
an argument named 'inputs'.
Among other things, this allows for generic hydra expressions to be
shared amongst projects with similar structures but different sets of
specific inputs.
Builds can now emit metrics that Hydra will store in its database and
render as time series via flot charts. Typical applications are to
keep track of performance indicators, coverage percentages, artifact
sizes, and so on.
For example, a coverage build can emit the coverage percentage as
follows:
echo "lineCoverage $pct %" > $out/nix-support/hydra-metrics
Graphs of all metrics for a job can be seen at
http://.../job/<project>/<jobset>/<job>#tabs-charts
Specific metrics are also visible at
http://.../job/<project>/<jobset>/<job>/metric/<metric>
The latter URL also allows getting the data in JSON format (e.g. via
"curl -H 'Accept: application/json'").
If Hydra isn't hosted on https://example.com/ but something like
https://example.com/hydra/, the URL for /api/scmdiff would have ended up
on /api/scmdiff rather than /hydra/api/scmdiff.
This is because we didn't use the URI resolver from the controller,
hence we're using it now to build up the whole URL including the query
string.

Without an index on (machine, stoptime desc), this requires a
sequential scan. And adding a whole index for this seems
overkill. (Possibly the queue runner could maintain this info more
efficiently.)
This prevents a race where multiple threads see that machine X is
missing path P, and start sending it concurrently. Nix handles this
correctly, but it's still wasteful (especially for the case where P ==
GHC).
A more refined scheme would be to have per machine, per path locks.
Derivations with "preferLocalBuild = true" can now be executed on
specific machines (typically localhost) by setting the mandary system
features field to include "local". For example:
localhost x86_64-linux,i686-linux - 10 100 - local
says that "localhost" can *only* do builds with "preferLocalBuild =
true". The speed factor of 100 will make the machine almost always win
over other machines.
Otherwise we never recover from reset daemon connections, e.g.
hydra-queue-runner[16106]: while loading build 599369: cannot start daemon worker: reading from file: Connection reset by peer
hydra-queue-runner[16106]: while loading build 599236: writing to file: Broken pipe
...
The error is now handled queueMonitor(), causing the next call to
queueMonitorLoop() to create a new connection.
This is currently done by a separate program that periodically
calls "hydra-queue-runner --status". Eventually, I'll do this
in the queue runner directly.
Fixes#220.
Having a hundred threads doing I/O at the same time is bad on magnetic
disks because of the excessive disk seeks. So allow only 4 threads to
copy closures in parallel.
While sorting machines by load, the load of a machine
(machine->currentJobs) can be changed by other threads. If that
happens, the comparator is no longer a proper ordering, in which case
std::sort() can segfault. So we now make a copy of currentJobs before
sorting.
There is a slight possibility that the queue monitor and a builder
thread simultaneously decide to mark a build as finished. That's fine,
as long as we ensure the DB update is idempotent (as ensured by doing
"update Builds set finished = 1 ... where finished = 0").
If a build A depends on a derivation that is the top-level derivation
of some build B, then we should process B before A (meaning we
shouldn't make the derivation runnable before B has been
added). Otherwise, the derivation will be "accounted" to A rather than
B (so the build step will show up in the wrong build).
Aborted builds are now put back on the runnable queue and retried
after a certain time interval (currently 60 seconds for the first
retry, then tripled on each subsequent retry).
Hydra-queue-runner now no longer polls the queue periodically, but
instead sleeps until it receives a notification from PostgreSQL about
a change to the queue (build added, build cancelled or build
restarted).
Also, for the "build added" case, we now only check for builds with an
ID greater than the previous greatest ID. This is much more efficient
if the queue is large.
It just makes things unnecessarily complicated. We can just exit
without cleaning anything up, since the only thing to do is unmark
builds and build steps as busy. But we can do that by having systemd
call "hydra-queue-runner --unlock" from ExecStopPost.
If multiple threads create a step for the same build, they could get
the same "max(stepnr)" and allocate conflicting new step numbers. So
lock the BuildSteps table while doing this. We could use a different
isolation level, but this is easier.
This removes the need for Nix's build-remote.pl.
Build logs are now written to $HYDRA_DATA/build-logs because
hydra-queue-runner doesn't have write permission to /nix/var/log.
When visiting the tail-reload page, for a short amount of time the

There are quite a lot of build outputs which have lines with a length
exceeding the width of the taillog <pre/> and thus visually produce more
lines than 50. This causes the tail "box" to change height frequently
and to get to the bottom you need to scroll down.
We now set a fixed line-height to 120% of the font size and cap the
maximum height based on that value (50 * 1.2 = 60). It's probably not
nice to override the line-height, but max-lines is currently only
available using browser-specific property names. But after all it's just
for the tail output, if people complain about the line-height, we can
still change it :-)

We're just implicitly escaping the tail content by not using .load() but
explicitly setting the text content using .text(), so that escaping
isn't needed on our side.
This should get rid of a few formatting errors and possibly XSS if
someone manages to place JS code in the tail of a build and manages to
lurk a user to that tail output.

Like eval IDs, build IDs don't convey useful information.
Also, make the job name link to the build rather than the job. When
people click on a build, they expect to go to the build page, not the
job page.
Scheduling is mostly based on jobset shares these days. So showing and
sorting by priority just wastes space and gives the incorrect
impression that Hydra executes builds in the order shown on the queue
page.
