92f525ecf4 * Negative caching, i.e. caching of build failures. Disabled by
default.  This is mostly useful for Hydra.

9dbfe242e3 * Kill a build if it has gone for more than a certain number of
seconds without producing output on stdout or stderr (NIX-65).  This
  timeout can be specified using the `--max-silent-time' option or the
  `build-max-silent-time' configuration setting.  The default is
  infinity (0).

* Fix a tricky race condition: if we kill the build user before the
  child has done its setuid() to the build user uid, then it won't be
  killed, and we'll potentially lock up in pid.wait().  So also send a
  conventional kill to the child.

6e5ec1029a * Get rid of `build-users'. We'll just take all the members of
`build-users-group'.  This makes configuration easier: you can just
  add users in /etc/group.

35247c4c9f * Removed `build-allow-root'.
* Added `build-users-group', the group under which builds are to be
  performed.
* Check that /nix/store has 1775 permission and is owner by the
  build-users-group.

d19b6521fc * New configuration setting `build-max-jobs' which sets the default
for the `-j' flag (i.e., the maximum number of jobs to execute in
  parallel).  Useful on multi-processor machines.

Nix config file.

through the new `gc-reserved-space' option.

8d06842a76 * Configuration options for trusted local builds. 2005-09-21 12:19:39 +00:00

6a8ef36fe6 * Global configuration option `env-keep-derivations' to store pointer
to derivations in user environments.  Nice for developers (since it
  prevents build-time-only dependencies from being GC'ed, in
  conjunction with `gc-keep-outputs').  Turned off by default.

2e6bf723e4 * Added a global configuration file (/nix/etc/nix/nix.conf). It
contains options for the garbage collector right now, but other
  stuff can be added here later.
