Hi, support for parallel builds is now in stdenv-updates. The only major change relative to the diff I posted is that the generic builder can auto-detect the number of available cores. To enable that feature, "build-cores" must be set to "0", "guess" or "auto". The same applies to the "--cores" command line argument (and, yes, it does work for nix-store, nix-build, and nix-env).
I tested the patch successfully on Linux/x86, Linux/x86_64, and Darwin/x86. However, if you experience any problems, please let me know. Eelco, I didn't want to bump the nixUnstable expression to the latest version, so I applied the changes as a patch. I committed my modifications to the Nix repository, too, though. I'll add documentation to the XML files ASAP. Take care, Peter _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
