Ah, that's very nice.

However, it then appears I broke the 2 live cds right after the latest
successful build.
Build number 2920826 only includes 5 of my commits, compared to
2920472, which did succeed. Looking at the log for the 2 failing
tests, I can't really figure out what's going on.
One of them reports a lot of warnings (sqlite busy), the other reports
an issue with linking (/nix/store/.links), which I've never seen
locally.
As I only added 5 emacs packages (which I think are unrelated) and
added the (updated) aufs3 patch to kernel 3.5 (which is not used by
the livecds), I would not know where to start debugging.

I build things locally using setarch --uname-2.6, just as hydra uses.
Are there any other environmental things I should do to match hydra,
so I can try to reproduce the same errors?

Thanks,
Mathijs
