Hmmm, there are no new jobs in http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/trunk/unstable#tabs-constituents

Pretty sure this was caused by https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/69e614d1e64cb50cb9b5b24a4c1668a649d54eec, but I don't understand why.

@edolstra a bug in Hydra?

[domenkozar]

It's interesting because http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixpkgs/trunk/tested#tabs-constituents does pass.

[domenkozar]

Aha, it could be due to rec being used now.

[domenkozar]

I've pushed a fix for that, but darwin stuff still needs to be fixed. cc @copumpkin

Tarball also fails due to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/19334#issuecomment-253047300

[domenkozar]

Fixed the tarball. Darwin still failing due to recent stdenv changes: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/41976530/nixlog/1/raw

@domenkozar oh duh, I forgot to push my make-bootstrap-tools.nix changes. Will do that when I get back to the computer that has them, probably in a few hours. Sorry for the mixup!

[copumpkin]

I just pushed a new make-bootstrap-tools.nix which I hope will fix the issue.

[domenkozar]

@copumpkin that helps, but yields another error: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/42087478/nixlog/2/raw

[domenkozar]

All green now: http://howoldis.herokuapp.com/

PS: I'm working on major improvements to howoldis that will hopefully give us more transparency and warning into dev process.

Thank you, @copumpkin and @domenkozar!
