Request: show which attributes depend on a change

[wmertens]

When updating e.g. a library, it might break some of the dependants.

Would be great to get a list of all direct dependants and maybe trigger rebuilds for those too.

ofborg laready lists all the dependents (even indirect ones); the list is available in a gist linked as «Details» in the list of automated checks.

I'm sorry, I don't see this link, where should I be looking? For example on the PR NixOS/nixpkgs#37662

Intuitive GitHub UI! Find the last time a commit has been pushed to the PR. Click the green checkmark to get the list of checks that have passed. The (currently) first one is «grahamcofborg-eval» that has «^.^!» as its status comment. To the right of it, there is a «Details» link. If you happen to be logged in, there is the «Merge» block in the UI in the bottom of the page. There you also have a list of checks that you can expand with «Show all checks» (to the right of «All checks have passed») and see the same list, including the «Details» link.

Hah well hidden :)

How about also posting a message with the summarized test results? That way it will also be sent via email, which is handy for reviewing.
