List of failing packages

List of failing packages

[Roel Janssen]

Dear Guix,

I'm trying to contribute to GNU Guix again, and I'd like to see if I
can solve build failures to make for a more stable Guix.  It would be
very convenient to have a list of packages that are currently failing
to build, and perhaps also some history on it (how many times did the
build fail, and since when does it fail).

Does such a list exist, and if so, where can I find it?

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen

I think you'ne looking for https://ci.guix.gnu.org. look for evaluations of guix master, and their failures. You can also look for evaluations of a package with the search bar at the top right.

HTH :)

But is there a list of *all packages that fail ot build*?
So, not only just a single evaluation like:
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/eval/8538?status=failed

But a list of ~11000 packages and their build status (like Hydra
showed).  With Hydra, when clicking on a failed build you could see
previous builds of that same package and its success or failure of
them.  I found that very useful.

Kind regards,
Roel Janssen

For previous builds you can use a query like

   icecat spec:guix-master system:x86_64-linux

and it will show you all past builds for icecat on the given system and
matching the given specification name (here: the master branch).

Would be great if the page would contain a small help on this. I'm using
this too seldom, so I just can not remember it.

Hi Ricardo,

Is it documented somewhere?  If it isn't, could you please write some
minimal documentation in cuirass.texi on how we can use the search bar?
That would be incredibly useful.

Thank you in advance,
Clément

Is there a way to know the commit for which the build passed?
