Also correct grammar for the case of a single derivation.

docs: fix upper bound on number of consumed cores

The `post-build-hook` text currently appears in the index, but not on the actual title line of the section, this follows the pattern used in a previous section to get a reference into a title.

Add a post build hook
|
|
|
|
Passing `--post-build-hook /foo/bar` to a nix-* command will cause
`/foo/bar` to be executed after each build with the following
environment variables set:
DRV_PATH=/nix/store/drv-that-has-been-built.drv
OUT_PATHS=/nix/store/...build /nix/store/...build-bin /nix/store/...build-dev
This can be useful in particular to upload all the builded artifacts to
the cache (including the ones that don't appear in the runtime closure
of the final derivation or are built because of IFD).
This new feature prints the stderr/stdout output to the `nix-build`
and `nix build` client, and the output is printed in a Nix 2
compatible format:
[nix]$ ./inst/bin/nix-build ./test.nix
these derivations will be built:
/nix/store/ishzj9ni17xq4hgrjvlyjkfvm00b0ch9-my-example-derivation.drv
building '/nix/store/ishzj9ni17xq4hgrjvlyjkfvm00b0ch9-my-example-derivation.drv'...

fixes #2730.
|

manual: distributed-builds: Mention - as default
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alos add a command "nix ping-store" to make it easier to see if Nix
can connect to a remote builder (e.g. 'nix ping-store --store
ssh://mac').
|
|
This is to simplify remote build configuration. These environment
variables predate nix.conf.
The build hook now has a sensible default (namely build-remote).
The current load is kept in the Nix state directory now.

Fixes #341
|
|
Let's step in line with time and document more realistic values.
|
|
|

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.
