[Nix-dev] [Hydra] install problems

[François Perrad]

Hi List,

i try to install Hydra on a server (Ubuntu-server 9.10, nix
0.15pre20563, hydra 0.1pre20651).
i found some problems :

1) the script hydra_init.pl reports many errors and cannot create some
tables and indexes.
because it uses hydra.sql instead of hydra-sqlite.sql (preprocessed version)

2) jobset creation fails with the following message :
DBIx::Class::ResultSet::create(): DBI Exception: DBD::SQLite::st
execute failed: Jobsets.emailOverride may not be NULL [for Statement
"INSERT INTO Jobsets ( name, nixexprinput, nixexprpath, project)
VALUES ( ?, ?, ?, ? )"] at
/nix/store/zjx7pqn8m4w0fsxpympznwqycr8w9g72-hydra-0.1pre20651/libexec/hydra/lib/Hydra/Controller/Project.pm
line 133

3) the on-line documentation describes :
  - project creation (patchelf)
  - jobset creation (trunk)
but nothing for :
  - view & job
  - release

the error message : "Invalid job name: :build" is not helpful
it doesn't give the convention (see $jobNameRE)

4) svn.nixos.org uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.

5) the script hydra_scheduler.pl gives :
considering project patchelf
considering jobset trunk in patchelf
checking out Subversion input nixpkgs from
https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nixpkgs/trunk revision 20671
