Fix 1.8 release note about build-max-jobs
We set build-cores automatically, not build-max-jobs. (The commit
message for de4cdd0d47 also got this
wrong.)

eec5409a69 installation: allow profile modification to be skipped (#1072)
The current behaviour modifies the first writeable file from amongst
.bash_profile, .bash_login and .profile.  So .bash_profile (if it is
writable) would be modified even if a user has already sourced nix.sh
in, say, .profile.

This commit introduces a new environment variable,
NIX_INSTALLER_NO_MODIFY_PROFILE.  If this is set during installation,
then the modifications are unconditionally skipped.

This is useful for users who have a manually curated set of dotfiles
that they are porting to a new machine. In such scenarios, nix.sh is
already sourced at a place where the user prefers.  Without this
change, the nix installer would insist on modifying .bash_profile if
it exists.

This commit also add documentations for both the current behaviour and
the new override.

18b7363a69 Support optional sandbox paths
For example, you can now set

  build-sandbox-paths = /dev/nvidiactl?

to specify that /dev/nvidiactl should only be mounted in the sandbox
if it exists in the host filesystem. This is useful e.g. for EC2
images that should support both CUDA and non-CUDA instances.

2ec9d2fb02 NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS path must be absolute (#957)
Once upon a time, I wrote my bachelors thesis about functional
deployment mechanisms.

I had to evaluate several szenarios where package management and
deployment were relevant. One szenario was to do distributed builds
over several machines.

I told myself: Weee, nix can do this! And with nix, this is actually
save, as you do not have side effects when building!

So I started. I use a cloud to set up four virtual machines where I
wanted to do the build. A fifth machine was used as master to distribute
the builds. All was good.

I created the necessary SSH keys, made sure every machine was reachable
by the master and configured the build in my remotes.conf.

When I started to try to build weechat from source, the build failed. It
failed, telling me

    error: unable to start any build; either increase ‘--max-jobs’ or enable distributed builds

And I started to dig around. I digged long and good. But I wasn't able
to find the issue.

I double and triple checked my environment variables, my settings, the
SSH key and everything.

I reached out to fellow Nixers by asking on the nixos IRC channel. And I
got help. But we weren't able to find the issue, either.

So I became frustrated. I re-did all the environment variables.

And suddenly,... it worked! What did I change? Well... I made the
environment variables which contained pathes contain absolute pathes
rather than relatives.

And because I like to share my knowledge, this should be put into the
documentation, so others do not bang their heads against the wall
because something is not documented somewhere.

Don't hardcode docbook XSL namespace URL
Docbook XSL got updated to version 1.79.1 in NixOS/nixpkgs@fb893a8 and
we're still referring to the hardcoded previous version.

So instead of just updating this to 1.79.1 we're going to use "current"
in the hope that this won't happen again.

I have tested this by building the manual under Nix(OS) but I haven't
tested this in a non-Nix environment, so I'm not sure whether this could
have implications.

8fdd156a65 Add option to verify build determinism
Passing "--option build-repeat <N>" will cause every build to be
repeated N times. If the build output differs between any round, the
build is rejected, and the output paths are not registered as
valid. This is primarily useful to verify build determinism. (We
already had a --check option to repeat a previously succeeded
build. However, with --check, non-deterministic builds are registered
in the DB. Preventing that is useful for Hydra to ensure that
non-deterministic builds don't end up getting published at all.)

b54f447df9 nix-prefetch-url: Support unpacking tarballs
This allows nix-prefetch-url to prefetch the output of fetchzip and
its wrappers (like fetchFromGitHub). For example:

  $ nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/archive/0.8.tar.gz

or from a Nix expression:

  $ nix-prefetch-url -A nix-repl.src

In the latter case, --unpack can be omitted because nix-repl.src is a
fetchFromGitHub derivation and thus has "outputHashMode" set to
"recursive".

You can also specify a path to the Nix expression:

4d652875bd Add the pre-build hook.
This hook can be used to set system-specific per-derivation build
settings that don't fit into the derivation model and are too complex or
volatile to be hard-coded into nix. Currently, the pre-build hook can
only add chroot dirs/files through the interface, but it also has full
access to the chroot root.

The specific use case for this is systems where the operating system ABI
is more complex than just the kernel-support system calls. For example,
on OS X there is a set of system-provided frameworks that can reliably
be accessed by any program linked to them, no matter the version the
program is running on. Unfortunately, those frameworks do not
necessarily live in the same locations on each version of OS X, nor do
their dependencies, and thus nix needs to know the specific version of
OS X currently running in order to make those frameworks available. The
pre-build hook is a perfect mechanism for doing just that.

1e4a4a2e9f Add the pre-build hook.
This hook can be used to set system specific per-derivation build
settings that don't fit into the derivation model and are too complex or
volatile to be hard-coded into nix. Currently, the pre-build hook can
only add chroot dirs/files.

The specific use case for this is systems where the operating system ABI
is more complex than just the kernel-supported system calls. For
example, on OS X there is a set of system-provided frameworks that can
reliably be accessed by any program linked to them, no matter the
version the program is running on. Unfortunately, those frameworks do
not necessarily live in the same locations on each version of OS X, nor
do their dependencies, and thus nix needs to know the specific version
of OS X currently running in order to make those frameworks available.
The pre-build hook is a perfect mechanism for doing just that.

99897f6979 Use chroots for all derivations
If ‘build-use-chroot’ is set to ‘true’, fixed-output derivations are
now also chrooted. However, unlike normal derivations, they don't get
a private network namespace, so they can still access the
network. Also, the use of the ‘__noChroot’ derivation attribute is
no longer allowed.

Setting ‘build-use-chroot’ to ‘relaxed’ gives the old behaviour.

15d2d3c34e Add restricted evaluation mode
If ‘--option restrict-eval true’ is given, the evaluator will throw an
exception if an attempt is made to access any file outside of the Nix
search path. This is primarily intended for Hydra, where we don't want
people doing ‘builtins.readFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa’ or stuff like that.

128538ef06 nix-shell: Add --run flag
‘--run’ is like ‘--command’, except that it runs the command in a
non-interactive shell. This is important if you do things like:

  $ nix-shell --command make

Hitting Ctrl-C while make is running drops you into the interactive
Nix shell, which is probably not what you want. So you can now do

  $ nix-shell --run make

instead.
