Danylo Hlynskyi	ac22d77fd1	nix-collect-garbage: little doc fix ... This removes confusing documentation. It's better to remove doc than add implementation, because Nix 1.12 will surely have new GC interface anyway. Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/641	2018-04-30 09:36:46 -07:00

Sean Seefried	2ef8f0608c	Add to glossary and clarify garbage collection ... While trying to understand garbage collection it was not immediately clear that only the runtime dependency closure of output paths would be kept (instead of the build-time dependency closure). This commit attempts to clarify this by expanding some of the glossary definitions and extending the Garbage Collection section.	2018-04-12 19:23:24 +10:00

Eelco Dolstra	ddc58e7896	Enable sandbox builds on Linux by default ... The overhead of sandbox builds is a problem on NixOS (since building a NixOS configuration involves a lot of small derivations) but not for typical non-NixOS use cases. So outside of NixOS we can enable it. Issue #179.	2018-02-22 12:27:25 +01:00
