The default/preferred mode of operation with Hydra is to build things
with Nix or Guix. The result is an installed package with a prefix like
/nix/store/...-my-package-1.0.
Alternately, with Nix and Nixpkgs, it can be used to spawn a QEMU VM
that runs, say, Debian, and to build a .deb or similar in that VM. The
resulting .deb is then available for download via a page such as
<http://hydra.nixos.org/job/gnu/libunistring/debian50_x86_64/latest>.
The recipe in Nix language for the one above is at:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hydra-recipes.git/tree/libunistring/release.nix
HTH,
Ludo’.
