Before this, the tool for CI would update when nixos-unstable updated, which is kind of terrible because you don't know when it happens, and it might break master. In fact, the tooling _right now_ has a serious bug and shouldn't be used! This PR addresses this by _pinning_ the tooling in Nixpkgs itself. Updating the tooling now requires two PRs: - The first PR to update the tooling source - (wait for Hydra to build and publish it in nixos-unstable) - The second PR to update the pinned tooling In turn you know exactly when the changes are going to take effect. This change however has additional benefits: - It makes CI more reproducible, because it doesn't depend on the state of nixos-unstable anymore - Updates to the tooling can be tested with the workflow itself, because PRs that update the pinned tool will be tested on the updated version - CI gets a sizable speed boost, because there's no need to download and evaluate a channel anymore - It makes it more realistic to move the source of the tool into a separate repository - It removes the brittle branch-specific logic that was previously needed to ensure that release branches use their own version of the tooling. |
