elikoga | The minimal test is wether the package builds at all
Running is not trivial. Zotero for example expects a graphical environment(?) | 15:48:54 |
emily | only a subset of things block the channel from advancing | 15:49:04 |
emily | if all failed builds stopped unstable from bumping, it'd never bump | 15:49:12 |
emily | but we do have e.g. automated end-to-end testing of installations, common graphical environments, etc. | 15:49:24 |
laauurraa | Yeah it does elikoga, that's what I expected. Being a bit difficult to test whether it launches or not | 15:49:28 |
emily | (since we have ~100k builds and many of them are always broken 🫠) | 15:50:18 |
laauurraa | I wish it was a little bit clearer when a package is stable or not? | 15:50:37 |
laauurraa | Would it be possible to add something to the nixpkgs search interface to link or show like a red/yellow/green bubble per platform about how "stable" it is? Whether builds have errors etc? | 15:52:40 |
