skip builds on manual download for several packages

[superherointj]

Goal is to avoid this (for all versions of every package on list):

Notice how many of these packages are listed in large builds:

• opencv: 4.5.4 -> 4.6.0 #192233 (comment)

---

Pending:

• Confirm setting hydraPlatforms to [] has intended effect in nixpkgs-review results.
  • Some conflicting listings of packages that have hydraPlatforms set has been observed in nixpkgs-review results. Such as: obs-ndi, pixinsight
    • Is setting hydraPlatforms a faulty solution to trying to hide manual builds from results?
      • @Mic92 Thoughts?
        • Skip packages that requireFile by default Mic92/nixpkgs-review#63

superherointj:

I seek advice on how to solve requireFile noise issue in nixpkgs-review results.
I naively thought that by setting meta.hydraPlatforms to [] for each package would solve issue, but I'm uncertain of that behavior. (if you could confirm that would be nice.)

Mic92:

That's a tricky one
Because it's not the derivation itself that fails but any dependency to that.
I think what could work is to mark requireFile by something as broken
So that eval would fail of this.
I think ofborg could even do this so it does not even show up in the eval cache

Pending:

• airwave requires vstsdk368_08_11_2017_build_121.zip
• ib-controller

Notes:

• Would be great if we could automatically skip builds at hydra/nixpkgs-review when requireFile is used.

  • But I don't have a solution for that. Maybe @Mic92 ?

• In case the effectiveness of setting hydraPlatforms = []; is confirmed:

  • Ideally the procedure of adding hydraPlatforms when requireFile is used should be documented.
    • But this PR is just disabling hydra builds for a list of packages.
