[Nix-dev] build-cores, load limit and boinc

Hello, I could not find a way to run 'boinc' in a multicore machine (which runs cpu-intensive jobs at nice 20) and have nix using more than one core for a build job (the enableParallelBuilding thing). It calls make with '-l4', for my case, and due to boinc, my load is always around 4, and make en

Hello, I screwed quite enough things today... I was running a root shell with "umask 200", and I typed: nixos-rebuild switch That made all my /var/setuid-wrappers with bad permissions for the ".real" files, namely "600", and things like sendmail (owned by nobody) couldn't read the '.real' file,

Hello, talking with the btrfs people, they are specially aware of a problem related to writing files to disk "properly". I think 'nix' does not 'fsync' on every file it writes to the store; does it? in non-chroot, it even isn't nix who puts the files in the store, so... Without fsync, there is n

We still have in nixpkgs GNU Ghostscript by default, instead of GPL Ghostscript. For what people at #ghostscript (ghostscript.com) told me, Artifex releases GPL Ghostscript. Then, with delay, GNU people take that code, removes all references to Artifex, and releases the same under the name GNU Gho
