nix search: Add a cache
The package list is now cached in
~/.cache/nix/package-search.json. This gives a substantial speedup to
"nix search" queries. For example (on an SSD):

First run: (no package search cache, cold page cache)

  $ time nix search blender
  Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender
  Package name: blender
  Version: 2.78c
  Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System

  real    0m6.516s

Second run: (package search cache populated)

  $ time nix search blender
  Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender
  Package name: blender
  Version: 2.78c
  Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System

  real    0m0.143s

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.

To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
