 toonn | grahamc: The link doesn't quite work for me. I already do that. But when I focus on something else for a while or something the urls in the history are close to useless because I don't know eval IDs by heart. That's why I'd love to have a way to set a little bit of state for an evaluation so that future me or others I link the eval to always end up with a useful comparison. | 15:20:00 |
 @grahamc:nixos.org | yeah | 15:20:20 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | I understand, but I don't mean remember eval IDs -- I mean that URL would always be fresh with the most recent eval | 15:20:47 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | I'm hesitant to add a "default comparison" field to the database because I think that risks getting very very complicated | 15:21:08 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | so I wonder if there is a way to make some stable URL which gets you what you're looking for every time | 15:21:30 |
| toonn | That's probably a useful feature but not what I'm after. | 15:21:26 |
| toonn | I want to be able to visit past evals as well and get the intended comparisons. | 15:22:01 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | oh I see | 15:22:14 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | can you write up a detailed ticket and open an issue? | 15:22:27 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | I think this could easily make sense in a PR model | 15:22:50 |
| toonn | Hmm, I think we could do this stateless if there was an endpoint that served a comparison to the closest branch or something. So if I base something on a staging-next commit I get a comparison to a staging-next eval of that commit. | 15:23:43 |
| toonn | Not every commit has an eval of course. Not sure how to work around that. Eval with fewest additional commits on top could be surprising. | 15:24:41 |
 hexa | I wish we had a more up to date hydra on unstable by now | 16:28:25 |
| hexa | but all PRs seem to be stalled | 16:28:45 |
| toonn | git.io stopped? : / | 18:05:48 |
