Hi Ludovic, Lluís Batlle i Rossell virik...@gmail.com skribis: First, we have to tell hydra to build the branch. It’s actually being built, but it uses release-small.nix instead of release.nix. apparently, you disabled most builds in stdenv-updates with commit 26578. I agree that

Hi Peter, Since stdenv updates are infrequent, we’d rather not do it “just” for Bash. Instead we usually bundle a list of stdenv package upgrades (libc, GCC, Coreutils, etc.), hence the branch name. :-) What about starting looking collectively at what we’d like to have in the next stdenv

1. Enable building the full release.nix on stdenv-updates, not just release-small Can someone with the right permissions set this up? pkgs/top-level/release.nix is already correct, it's just not being built yet, I don't think. ___ nix-dev mailing
