nixpkgs-review-checks

Adds additional checks and more information from build logs and outputs to the reports generated by Mic92/nixpkgs-review.

This project should currently be considered alpha quality software. Some of the additional checks don't work reliable and sometimes even block the shell. There is also currently no way to abort the running shell commands which can be a problem when reviewing hundreds of packages.

Features

  • Search through logs to find special keywords that indicate a common error like Ran 0 tests in 0.000s by pytest or stale substituteInPlace
  • Sort build failures by failing on master and new failing via hydra-check
  • Run nixpkgs-hammering, filter warnings and add them to the report
  • Automatically upload logs on build failures to termbin
  • Check binaries and shared objects for missing objects and left over debugging symbols
  • Block the review shell from closing if there are unstaged changes in nixpkgs
  • Filter empty reports and non usefull reports for certain people
