Description

See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/21414. I want to make an "eval time" job whose success is determined by evaluation of a boolean. I could convert this job to a succeeding or failing derivation, but is there a better way?

Research direction

Start by reading the linked nixpkgs pull request (21414) and the surrounding Hydra job-evaluation entry points. Determine how an eval-time job whose result comes from a boolean would fit the existing job model, then define what behavior and tests would demonstrate that the design is complete.
