It was achieved by marking broken things as broken so that they don't come up as failures on Hydra all the time. Once the package is fixed (upstream or otherwise) it can be built again and we have an extra package building. The approach of marking stuff as broken allows one to see much better which packages actually change build status. Users also get a message if they try to compile a package marked as broken rather than have them try to compile and fail which was horrible user experience. -- Mateusz K. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
