[Nix-dev] Hydra Github Status Plugin

[Philipp Hausmann]

Hi,

I managed to figure it out in the meantime. The solution is quite 
simple, add an XML snippet like that to the Hydra extraConfig option:

   services.hydra = {
     enable = true;
     ..............
     extraConfig = ''
       binary_cache_secret_key_file = ....
       <githubstatus>
         jobs = test:test:test
         inputs = src
         authorization = Basic {BASE64 of user:pw}
         excludeBuildFromContext = 1
       </githubstatus>'';

What I found really confusing is that the Hydra config file is a mix of 
XML snippets and INI style values. It took me quite some
time to figure out that the XML snippet really goes into the Hydra 
config file.

Some more "documentation" can be found in the original PR ( 
https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/pull/280 ).

Cheers, Philipp
