Re: low-hassle build-output excerpt retrieval

[Rob Vermaas]

Hi,

it seems the feature to directly access the failed build's output is broken at the moment. I will look into this. For now this is the contents of the file you mentioned.

# cat /nix/store/f6ql2q10pdxyac9sk44s5fq6y5fg3fjc-rcs-5.9.3-4-g65a50ae/nix-build-rcs-5.9.3-4-g65a50ae.drv-0/rcs-UNKNOWN/tests/t999.d/out

#rcsdiff -kkvl failed

Cheers,

Of these, i am most interested in in t999.d/out, which should give
some hint about where the test failed.  Is there any easy way to
retrieve that file (or better yet, t999.d/ in its entirety, as a
tarball), without having to obtain a "hydra account"?  I'm not
really opposed to getting a hydra account (just ignorant, lazy,
and pressed for time :-D), so if that's the only way forward, then
please consider this a request for one.
