Staging is unmergeable

[lucabrunox]

For the 14.11 I'm sure people wants staging stuff into master. This is not possible as tests don't pass since a lot of time: http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixos/staging

[peti]

Fixed by a9c5303.

[lucabrunox]

@peti you merged master into staging, but I have yet to see staging nixos tests pass in hydra.

[peti]

All test failures I saw were due to a failing libgpg-error-1.17 build. That issue is now fixed. Still, it's a good idea have a look at the tests anyway and maybe re-open this issue if there's still significant breakage.

[lucabrunox]

That's the latest failure, but see earlier failures.

[peti]

I have not seen any other failure that looked like a fixable issue (i.e. I saw test failures because the network went down or some other temporary thing). If you have any specific test failure in mind, please don't hesitate to share a specific URL that shows the problem. Also, please feel free re-open the issue at your discretion if you feel that's the best course of action.

[lucabrunox]

@peti yes all those network failures, but on nixos/trunk-combined network works. If you note, it only happens for installer tests and containers. It must be something that went into staging and broke those tests specifically.
It's not a transient failure.

[lucabrunox]

Reopening until I see staging tests pass :)

[edolstra]

We should probably back out the fontconfig changes in the staging branch until we get #4410 sorted out.

[lucabrunox]

Also I've built staging simple installer successfully. Maybe after this nixpkgs iteration it won't fail I hope. PInging @vcunat to ack the revert of #4410 , when I have time I'm going to work on the @edolstra proposal.

[vcunat]

Well, I think it will be better to just do the fontconfig change @edolstra suggested. I'm confident I can do it this week, unless someone does it first, of course. (It's to save additional rebuild, as Hydra has problems to catch up, which probably slows down 14.11 stabilization.)

I don't think the fontconfig changes should cause any of these problems you discuss here, as I'm running with it for weeks on my main desktop, and we really do want the new fontconfig in 14.11 anyway (AFAIK).

[vcunat]

Most NixOS tests are OK now.

[lucabrunox]

@vcunat not really. Most of tests also passed before. The problem is the installer. I've merged staging into master locally and the installer tests hang on shutdown because they cannot umount the iso:

@edolstra recently fixed another issue with /dev/root, but there's still some other issue left to be fixed.

[edolstra]

@lethalman The installer tests are all fine (except the rebuildCD thingy): http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixos/staging

I believe the shutdown problem is a pre-existing condition.

[lucabrunox]

@edolstra on staging yes maybe, but when merging staging into master, they fail. Btw let's merge?

[vcunat]

Staging was merged.
