I have been thinking, how to land #1164?

  • Hydra just got on a stable version of Nix, it would be a shame to get off
  • It would be risky to make all the nix changes, and just hope they were what Hydra needs
  • Could backport Nix changes to stable branch, but that is a bit sketch.

I think the right solution is to have a staging branch of hydra that points to master Nix. Whenever a version of Nix is released, staging merged, and Hydra master fast-forwards to the new Nix release. Of course, master can be merged into staging at any time.

A staging branch would also be nice for scenarios like NixOS/nixpkgs#158455 (comment).

Per #1171, we need staging branches for each release of Nix ahead of the one hydra uses, in addition one for Nix master, too.
