External machines can now notify Hydra that it should check a
repository by sending a GET or PUSH request to /api/push, providing a
list of jobsets to be checked and/or a list of repository URLs. In
the latter case, all jobsets that have any of the specified
repositories as an input will be checked.
For instance, you can configure GitHub or BitBucket to send a request
to the URL
http://hydra.example.org/api/push?repos=git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git
to trigger evaluation of all jobsets that have
git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git as an input, or to the URL
http://hydra.example.org/api/push?jobsets=patchelf:trunk,nixpkgs:trunk
to trigger evaluation of just the specified jobsets.
This happened in a pathological case in Nixpkgs: the "grub" job is
evaluated for i686-linux and x86_64-linux, but in the latter case it
returns the same derivation as in the former case. So only one build
should be added.
This gets rid of the openHydraDB function and ensures that we
open the database in a consistent way.
Also drop the PostgreSQL sequence hacks. They don't seem to be
necessary anymore.
When checking whether the jobset is unchanged, we need to compare with
the previous JobsetEval regardless of whether it had new builds.
Otherwise we'll keep adding new JobsetEval rows.
* Don't use isCurrent anymore; instead look up builds in the previous
jobset evaluation. (The isCurrent field is still maintained because
it's still used in some other places.)
* To determine whether to perform an evaluation, compare the hash of
the current inputs with the inputs of the previous jobset
evaluation, rather than checking if there was ever an evaluation
with those inputs. This way, if the inputs of an evaluation change
back to a previous state, we get a new jobset evaluation in the
database (and thus the latest jobset evaluation correctly represents
the latest state of the jobset).
* Improve performance by removing some unnecessary operations and
adding an index.
The underscores are ugly and the .pl extension is an implementation
detail that shouldn't be visible to the outside.
Also, get rid of the *.in files. It's not really necessary to
generate them. And I was always modifying the wrong file.
