Eelco Dolstra fb7d315411 Merge pull request #10570 from layus/shared_caches
Share evaluation caches across installables

Before:

$ rm -rf ~/.cache/nix && time -f '%E' nix build --dry-run \
  'nixpkgs#hello' \
  'nixpkgs#clang' \
  'nixpkgs#cargo' \
  'nixpkgs#rustup' \
  'nixpkgs#bear' \
  'nixpkgs#firefox' \
  'nixpkgs#git-revise' \
  'nixpkgs#hyperfine' \
  'nixpkgs#curlie' \
  'nixpkgs#xz' \
  'nixpkgs#ripgrep'
0:03.61

After:

$ rm -rf ~/.cache/nix && time -f '%E' nix build --dry-run \
  'nixpkgs#hello' \
  'nixpkgs#clang' \
  'nixpkgs#cargo' \
  'nixpkgs#rustup' \
  'nixpkgs#bear' \
  'nixpkgs#firefox' \
  'nixpkgs#git-revise' \
  'nixpkgs#hyperfine' \
  'nixpkgs#curlie' \
  'nixpkgs#xz' \
  'nixpkgs#ripgrep'
0:01.46

This could probably use a more proper benchmark...

Fixes #313

Lix

Lix is an implementation of Nix, a powerful package management system for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible.

Read more about us at https://lix.systems.

Installation

On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Lix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):

$ curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install

For systems that already have a Nix implementation installed, such as NixOS systems, read our install page

Building And Developing

See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to to set up a development environment and build Lix from source.
