[Nix-dev] Hydra: infinite CPU and RAM consumption in evaluator

[Christian Theune]

Hi,

ok, so the best way getting back to a working Hydra was the tip about running the system from a checkout and hydra from a checkout.

Picking the versions from Hydra’s own Hydra job to see which ran fine resulted in a ~10day  old nixpkgs and the most current Hydra version running properly.

I’ll keep that as the reference procedure for future updates.

Nevertheless, it looks like we may have introduced poisonous code that sends the evaluator off into infinity. We’ll come back when we find out what it was.

Cheers,
Christian
