Eelco Dolstra ea019e9a26 Add option ‘extra-binary-caches’ 
This allows providing additional binary caches, useful in scripts like
Hydra's build reproduction scripts, in particular because untrusted
caches are ignored.

Eelco Dolstra aebea2e489 Reinstate the http://nixos.org/binary-cache default for the binary-caches setting 2013-01-02 22:16:37 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra b7629778ef Allow mounting a path in a different location in the chroot 
Fixes #24.

Eelco Dolstra 68dcbb187e download-from-binary-cache: Use the channels of the calling user rather than root 
This should make live easier for single-user (non-daemon)
installations.  Note that when the daemon is used, the "calling user"
is root so we're not using any untrusted caches.

Eelco Dolstra 620e92e880 Add an option ‘use-binary-caches’ 
This allows disabling the use of binary caches, e.g.

  $ nix-build ... --option use-binary-caches false

Note that

  $ nix-build ... --option binary-caches ''

does not disable all binary caches, since the caches defined by
channels will still be used.

Eelco Dolstra 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.

Eelco Dolstra 9e2fc6951c Disable the binary cache substituter by default for now 2012-08-27 14:20:14 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 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.

Eelco Dolstra 4d1b64f118 Allow daemon users to override ‘binary-caches’ 
For security reasons, daemon users can only specify caches that appear
in the ‘binary-caches’ and ‘trusted-binary-caches’ options in
nix.conf.

Eelco Dolstra 89a8207029 Add an option ‘build-fallback’ (equivalent to the --fallback flag) 2012-07-31 17:56:02 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 9de6d10d11 Get rid of $NIX_BINARY_CACHES 
You can use ‘--option binary-caches URLs’ instead.
