Eelco Dolstra 836573a9a2 Dynamically allocate UIDs Rather than rely on a nixbld group, we now allocate UIDs/GIDs dynamically starting at a configurable ID (872415232 by default). Also, we allocate 2^18 UIDs and GIDs per build, and run the build as root in its UID namespace. (This should not be the default since it breaks some builds. We probably should enable this conditional on a requiredSystemFeature.) The goal is to be able to run (NixOS) containers in a build. However, this will also require some cgroup initialisation. The 2^18 UIDs/GIDs is intended to provide enough ID space to run multiple containers per build, e.g. for distributed NixOS tests.		2020-07-06 13:50:33 +02:00
