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.

8e3a7bd712 nix-store --verify: Add an option ‘--repair’ to repair all missing/corrupt paths 
Also, return a non-zero exit code if errors remain after
verifying/repairing.

9958bd6992 Add operation ‘nix-store --repair-path’ 
This operation allows fixing corrupted or accidentally deleted store
paths by redownloading them using substituters, if available.

Since the corrupted path cannot be replaced atomically, there is a
very small time window (one system call) during which neither the old
(corrupted) nor the new (repaired) contents are available.  So
repairing should be used with some care on critical packages like
Glibc.

95c74eae26 Allow dashes in identifiers 
In Nixpkgs, the attribute in all-packages.nix corresponding to a
package is usually equal to the package name.  However, this doesn't
work if the package contains a dash, which is fairly common.  The
convention is to replace the dash with an underscore (e.g. "dbus-lib"
becomes "dbus_glib"), but that's annoying.  So now dashes are valid in
variable / attribute names, allowing you to write:

  dbus-glib = callPackage ../development/libraries/dbus-glib { };

and

  buildInputs = [ dbus-glib ];

Since we don't have a negation or subtraction operation in Nix, this
is unambiguous.

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.

59a26360c7 Support mandatory system features in the build hook 
Mandatory features are features that MUST be present in a derivation's
requiredSystemFeatures attribute.  One application is performance
testing, where we have a dedicated machine to run performance tests
(and nothing else).  Then we would add the label "perf" to the
machine's mandatory features and to the performance testing
derivations.
