9f9080e2c0 nix-store -l: Fetch build logs from the Internet 
If a build log is not available locally, then ‘nix-store -l’ will now
try to download it from the servers listed in the ‘log-servers’ option
in nix.conf. For instance, if you have:

  log-servers = http://hydra.nixos.org/log

then it will try to get logs from http://hydra.nixos.org/log/<base
name of the store path>. So you can do things like:

  $ nix-store -l $(which xterm)

and get a log even if xterm wasn't built locally.

efe4289464 Add an option to limit the log output of builders 
This is mostly useful for Hydra to deal with builders that get stuck
in an infinite loop writing data to stdout/stderr.

ea019e9a26 Add option ‘extra-binary-caches’ 
This allows providing additional binary caches, useful in scripts like
Hydra's build reproduction scripts, in particular because untrusted
caches are ignored.

68dcbb187e download-from-binary-cache: Use the channels of the calling user rather than root 
This should make live easier for single-user (non-daemon)
installations.  Note that when the daemon is used, the "calling user"
is root so we're not using any untrusted caches.

620e92e880 Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’ 
This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g.

  $ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false

Note that

  $ nix-build ... --option binary-caches ''

does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by
channels will still be used.

522ecab9b8 Drop support for running nix-worker in "slave" mode 
AFAIK nobody uses this, setuid binaries are evil, and there is no good
reason why people can't just run the daemon.

5170c5691a nix-channel: Use binary caches advertised by channels 
Channels can now advertise a binary cache by creating a file
<channel-url>/binary-cache-url.  The channel unpacker puts these in
its "binary-caches" subdirectory.  Thus, the URLS of the binary caches
for the channels added by root appear in
/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/eelco/channels/binary-caches/*.  The
binary cache substituter reads these and adds them to the list of
binary caches.

4d1b64f118 Allow daemon users to override ‘binary-caches’ 
For security reasons, daemon users can only specify caches that appear
in the ‘binary-caches’ and ‘trusted-binary-caches’ options in
nix.conf.
