6NOTES FOR EMACS CONTINUOUS BUILD ON HYDRA
7
8A continuous build for Emacs can be found at
9http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/emacs-trunk
10http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/emacs-24
11
12* It builds Emacs on various platforms.
13Sometimes jobs fail due to hydra problems rather than Emacs problems.
14Eg it seems like the cygwin build will never work again.

16
17* Mail notifications
18In addition to the web interface, Hydra can send notifications by
19email when the build status of a project changes—e.g., from
20`SUCCEEDED' to `FAILED'. It sends notifications about build status in
21Emacs trunk to emacs-buildstatus@gnu.org.

26* The Emacs jobset consists of the following jobs:
27
28** The `tarball' job
29which gets a checkout from bzr, and does a bootstrap followed
30by running make-dist to create a tarball. If this job fails, all the
31others will too (because they use the tarball as input).
32
33** The `build' job
34which starts from the tarball and does a normal build
35
36** The 'coverage' job
37does a gcov build and then runs `make check'. Fails if any test fails.
38
39* Nix expressions
40The recipe for GNU Emacs are available via Git:
41http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hydra-recipes.git/tree/emacs
42
43To modify the build job, email the patch to hydra-users@gnu.org. The
44build recipes are written in the Nix language.
45
