2019-11-02	docs: xref doesn't render in title	Kevin Stock
	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
2019-08-06	post-build-hook: docs fixup	Graham Christensen

2019-08-02	Add a post-build-hook	regnat
	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'... hello! bye! running post-build-hook '/home/grahamc/projects/github.com/NixOS/nix/post-hook.sh'... post-build-hook: + sleep 1 post-build-hook: + echo 'Signing paths' /nix/store/qr213vjmibrqwnyp5fw678y7whbkqyny-my-example-derivation post-build-hook: Signing paths /nix/store/qr213vjmibrqwnyp5fw678y7whbkqyny-my-example-derivation post-build-hook: + sleep 1 post-build-hook: + echo 'Uploading paths' /nix/store/qr213vjmibrqwnyp5fw678y7whbkqyny-my-example-derivation post-build-hook: Uploading paths /nix/store/qr213vjmibrqwnyp5fw678y7whbkqyny-my-example-derivation post-build-hook: + sleep 1 post-build-hook: + printf 'very important stuff' /nix/store/qr213vjmibrqwnyp5fw678y7whbkqyny-my-example-derivation [nix-shell:~/projects/github.com/NixOS/nix]$ ./inst/bin/nix build -L -f ./test.nix my-example-derivation> hello! my-example-derivation> bye! my-example-derivation (post)> + sleep 1 my-example-derivation (post)> + echo 'Signing paths' /nix/store/c263gzj2kb2609mz8wrbmh53l14wzmfs-my-example-derivation my-example-derivation (post)> Signing paths /nix/store/c263gzj2kb2609mz8wrbmh53l14wzmfs-my-example-derivation my-example-derivation (post)> + sleep 1 my-example-derivation (post)> + echo 'Uploading paths' /nix/store/c263gzj2kb2609mz8wrbmh53l14wzmfs-my-example-derivation my-example-derivation (post)> Uploading paths /nix/store/c263gzj2kb2609mz8wrbmh53l14wzmfs-my-example-derivation my-example-derivation (post)> + sleep 1 my-example-derivation (post)> + printf 'very important stuff' [1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] Co-authored-by: Graham Christensen <graham@grahamc.com> Co-authored-by: Eelco Dolstra <edolstra@gmail.com>

2018-02-21	Manual: Update chapter on remote builds	Eelco Dolstra
	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').
2017-05-01	Remove $NIX_BUILD_HOOK and $NIX_CURRENT_LOAD	Eelco Dolstra
	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.

2016-07-21	NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS path must be absolute (#957)	Matthias Beyer
	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.
