How should this look like? running strace on nix-build and then iterating backwards over commits until 3 commits are found touching any of nix files found by strace ? This will work.. However if the last 3 commits touched all-packages.nix only the file causing the problem could be missed. Anyway it's nice to get some feedback from hydra automatically. I don't mind getting failures I didn't cause. Marc Weber _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
