Hi I'm happy to announce a significant number of improvements:
* Branch support. Specifying meta.branch suppresses update notifications for out-of-branch updated versions. Branch is autodetected for haskell packages using file name. This may eventually be enabled for all packages. * Better git support. Specify meta.repositories.git to add a reliable update source for your package. * Tarball "upgrading". tar.gz->tar.bz2->tar.xz where possible. * Improved filter. Quickly get patches which build and can be applied right away. * Smarter patch generator. Now handles GNOME packages and more corner cases. * RSS feeds for vulnerable and outdated packages, with filters. Has lots of interesting uses, such as a "pull request" feed which consists only of patches which build, a personal feed for all packages you maintain. Also RSS makes it easier to deal with noisy data such as CVE matches, or noise produced by less reliable update sources. EXPERIMENTAL: format may change causing deleted entries to resurface. * Personalization of the interface. Currently, this affects patch author field. * Build log diff. A color-coded build log diff between patch and Hydra-built versions of packages. Especially useful to quickly check that configure phase brings no surprises, such as dependencies failing to be found, new dependencies, features becoming missing/disabled, other errors. Unfortunately, Hydra doesn't always have a log. EXPERIMENTAL. * Lots of under-the-hood improvements: performance, noise reduction, reliability, bugfixes. Hope you'll like it. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
