Getting "Success" without a preceding "Failure" has already happened a
couple times to me as well.

It's the ancient gods deciding based on my instantaneous merit level :D

Oh, cool, thanks a lot!

Hydra didn't send me an "it works" notification this time and I didn't
manage to find the page you gave me a link to.  Now I've finally found
where to click, thanks a lot!  (Note to myself: it's in the Job menu at
the top of the page.)

[Nix-dev] Debugging Hydra failures without a log

2017-07-10 Thread Sergiu Ivanov via nix-dev
Hello,

Hydra told me the package bibtex2html which I maintain got broken:

  https://hydra.nixos.org/build/55099626

I waited for a couple weeks hoping the issue will fix itself, but
apparently it didn't.  The cited page says "log file is not available".
I have no problems installing bibtex2html from a local checkout of
nixpkgs on my i686-linux box (because nix-env downloads the working
cached version, I suppose?).

How would one normally debug such failures?
