 vcunat | (I know about no useful notification system for nixpkgs itself so far.) | 11:37:47 |
 Janne | The Main reason was that it notified way too many people | 11:37:49 |
| vcunat | * (I know about no useful notification system for nixpkgs itself so far, but I might've missed some.) | 11:38:05 |
| vcunat | Yes. But perhaps for some specific hydra use (not hydra.nixos.org) it could be usable. I don't know. | 11:38:52 |
| vcunat | Still, the OP asked about channels, so I expect it's about hydra.nixos.org only. | 11:39:34 |
| vcunat | IIRC that system notified committers, not package maintainers. | 11:40:49 |
| vcunat | Maybe it would work well-enough in practice if maintainers were notified instead. | 11:41:11 |
| Janne | I think it notified every committer of every commit in the range between two evals if a package newly failed. For every package | 11:42:03 |
| vcunat | The approach isn't compatible with staging* batching - which we require, as there's not enough build power for more frequent builds. | 11:43:43 |
 John Ericson | https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/hydra/nix-next#tabs-errors anyone know why this eval is totaly failing? | 15:52:59 |

 tomberek | I've seen that if a fetcher fails or something really early in the chain. The logs on the machine will have more info. | 15:54:33 |
| John Ericson | thanks Tom! | 15:54:54 |
 Pratham Patel | Is this for builds that have failed but haven't made into the channel? Because that's what I actually want to know. I want to know about the build failures as they happen in hydra, before the channel is promoted. | 16:40:39 |
| vcunat | Yes, this report is faster than channels. | 17:06:29 |
| Pratham Patel | Perfect, thank you! | 17:10:08 |
| vcunat | (but reacting on it won't prevent the failure from appearing in channels for some time) | 17:57:09 |
| Pratham Patel | Yep, I understand that there's a 3 to 5 day delay for the fixing commit to appear in nixos-unstable | 18:25:41 |
|  Vika (she/her) changed their profile picture. | 18:39:18 |
 Mic92 | Janne: can I get a sops key from you? | 21:58:30 |
| Mic92 | I would like to setup access for the hydra team. | 21:58:46 |
| Mic92 | for the staging infra | 21:58:50 |
| Janne | Just derive it from my ssh key | 22:18:50 |
| Janne | I don't have a laptop rn | 22:19:04 |

| Mic92 | Janne: https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/pull/1568 I fixed up the OIDC PR | 00:24:06 |
| Mic92 | is ners also here? | 00:24:29 |
 magic_rb | @ners:nixos.dev no | 00:34:47 |
| magic_rb | At least not yet | 00:35:03 |
| Mic92 | Janne: do you want to switch your own hydra to OIDC for testing :) | 00:46:54 |
| Mic92 | I sent him a message | 00:48:25 |
