 leona | oh and crawling hydra is very much not fun. I tried doing it for finding broken builds with something similar to gist.github.com/Mindavi/6b33251a3a7a207e95d0ca289da312cb. And I had to go down to <10 simultaneous connections to not break hydra | 09:12:01 |
| leona | and even then it struggled so much that I stopped it | 09:12:11 |
 Julien | I think for zh.fail we have scripts that mostly work | 09:13:01 |
 aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | Why are we all trying to solve a problem that should not exist | 09:13:10 |
| leona | because hydra is an awful, strange perl software that nobody wants to touch and change | 09:13:52 |
 Vladimír Čunát | Why is everyone solving it from scratch? | 09:13:54 |
| aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | And zh.fail doesn't carry drvHash because drvHash requires you to check every page of builds | 09:14:22 |
| aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | Which could add even more load to hydra | 09:14:31 |
| aleksana 🏳️⚧️ (force me to bed after 18:00 UTC) | At the same time, the jump link from nixos-search to hydra is still broken for darwin. | 09:17:43 |
 Janne | Actually… | 09:23:27 |
| Janne | @simon.hauser:helsinki-systems.de 👋 | 09:23:35 |
| leona | could someone change stableBranch / officialRelease to true for nixos/release-25.11, nixos/release-25.11-small, nixpkgs/nixpkgs-25.11-darwin | 12:32:37 |
| leona | as a preparation for the release on sunday | 12:32:49 |
| leona | I don't trust hydra with short timings for rebuilding the NixOS tests rn. | 12:33:12 |
| leona | * I don't trust hydra with short times for rebuilding the NixOS tests rn. | 12:33:19 |
| leona | (that's also why I cancelled the nixos/release-25.11 a few minutes ago) | 12:34:20 |
| leona | * (that's also why I cancelled the nixos/release-25.11 eval a few minutes ago) | 12:34:24 |
| leona | * (that's also why I cancelled the nixos/release-25.11 builds a few minutes ago) | 12:34:31 |
 hexa | doing | 12:34:45 |
| hexa | done | 12:36:04 |
| leona | thank you! | 12:36:12 |

 K900 | Killed unstable-small eval because we'll have a staging-nixos merge as soon as I'm done fighting GHA flakiness | 12:40:22 |
| hexa | trying to rename nixpkgs/trunk https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/unstable#tabs-evaluations | 18:08:00 |
| hexa | per https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/1288#issuecomment-3592551732 | 18:08:26 |
| hexa | * per https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/1288#issuecomment-3592551732 toggling the state should do it | 18:08:34 |
| K900 | Oh no | 18:11:40 |
| K900 | channel-scripts will 100% explode | 18:11:46 |
| Vladimír Čunát | Hydra provides http redirects. | 18:12:40 |
| Vladimír Čunát | But I still don't expect this to be problem-free. | 18:13:00 |
| hexa | 🙂 | 18:13:06 |
