Ah..I was wondering about nix and how it all worked together.

Sure. I didn't upgrade hydra to latest git, as that depends on an unreleased version of nix also; did not want to go there. > ISTR that other changes were made that tie Hydra to Nix more closely, > and I’m not sure what the implications are. I understand. I struggled quite a while reading doc/dev-notes.txt and getting sqlite up and running, fixing database errors until I finaly found that file is terribly out of date and in 2014 sqlite support was dropped, apparently. > > Two perl packages did not build anymore (failing tests), so I disabled > > the tests.

Done. Find the script below that I used to test hydra with postgres.
