[Nix-dev] Hydra: export info in computer-readable form

[Yury G. Kudryashov]

Hi!

It would be useful to be able get the following information from hydra:

* The list of "roots of failures", i.e. the list of packages whose builds 
failed (as opposed to packages whose dependencies have failed); this list 
should be in some computer readable format. This is important because this 
is the list of packages one should fix. It is not that good to click on 
"failed" status in http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/libpng15/with-
status just to see that this build is failed due to a failed dependency.

Probably using another icon for "failed dependency" may work as a temporary 
solution.

* The list of builds that fail in a topic branch but do not fail in trunk.

Or should I post such requests to yellowgrass?
