Eelco Dolstra 7f893b7a43 * Allow derivations to hint that they should not be built remotely ... using the build hook mechanism, by setting the derivation attribute "preferLocalBuild" to true. This has a few use cases: - The user environment builder. Since it just creates a bunch of symlinks without much computation, there is no reason to do it remotely. In fact, doing it remotely requires the entire closure of the user environment to be copied to the remote machine, which is extremely wasteful. - `fetchurl'. Performing the download on a remote machine and then copying it to the local machine involves twice as much network traffic as performing the download locally, and doesn't save any CPU cycles on the local machine.		2010-08-04 12:13:58 +00:00
