-# Automatic and Optionally Enforced Determinism Verification
-
-Automatically verify every build at build time by executing the build
-multiple times.
-
-Setting `repeat` and `enforce-determinism` in your `nix.conf` permits
-the automated verification of every build Nix performs.
-
-The following configuration will run each build three times, and will
-require the build to be deterministic:
-
- enforce-determinism = true
- repeat = 2
-
-Setting `enforce-determinism` to false as in the following
-configuration will run the build multiple times, execute the build
-hook, but will allow the build to succeed even if it does not build
-reproducibly:
-
- enforce-determinism = false
- repeat = 1
