Eelco Dolstra 5e51ffb1c2 Support sandbox builds by non-root users 
This allows an unprivileged user to perform builds on a diverted store
(i.e. where the physical store location differs from the logical
location).

Example:

  $ NIX_LOG_DIR=/tmp/log NIX_REMOTE="local?real=/tmp/store&state=/tmp/var" nix-build -E \
    'with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" { buildInputs = [procps nettools]; } "id; ps; ifconfig; echo $out > $out"'

will do a build in the Nix store physically in /tmp/store but
logically in /nix/store (and thus using substituters for the latter).

Nix, the purely functional package manager

Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of it's 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.
