There was a problem hiding this comment.
What about using nix-env -p $linkLocation --set $linkTarget here instead? This would also allow for rollbacks and would ensure that we have a gcroot.

@aszlig I've made that change. |
|
The fact that only two lines in this change are actually specific to what this plugin is doing makes me wonder if there's a way to abstract over all the rest. Some kind of 'on build completion script' as described in #281 might make sense. |
|
This looks pretty cool. I wonder, though, if the runcommand plugin is satisfactory? |
|
@grahamc Perhaps, I've not looked at this for ages. |
|
Since there was no further response and the runCommand indeed seems like a good candidate i’ll close this one. |

I've written a small plugin which can create a symlink pointing to the latest output of a job.
It also touches a file as lots of filesystem watchers don't like watching symlinks :/
I'd appreciate some feedback :)
This can be used with a section in the config like this:
I'm using this at the moment to run a hoogle server with the latest version of all our code on.
