2020-08-12Make `system-features` a store settingJohn Ericson
This seems more correct. It also means one can specify the features a store should support with --store and remote-store=..., which is useful. I use this to clean up the build remotes test.
2017-05-02Replace $NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS with an option "builder-files"Eelco Dolstra
Also, to unify with hydra-queue-runner, allow it to be a list of files.
2017-05-02Add an option for specifying remote buildersEelco Dolstra
This is useful for one-off situations where you want to specify a builder on the command line instead of having to mess with nix.machines. E.g. $ nix-build -A hello --argstr system x86_64-darwin \ --option builders 'root@macstadium1 x86_64-darwin' will perform the specified build on "macstadium1". It also removes the need for a separate nix.machines file since you can specify builders in nix.conf directly. (In fact nix.machines is yet another hack that predates the general nix.conf configuration file, IIRC.) Note: this option is supported by the daemon for trusted users. The fact that this allows trusted users to specify paths to SSH keys to which they don't normally have access is maybe a bit too much trust...
2017-05-02Factor out machines.conf parsingEelco Dolstra
This allows hydra-queue-runner to use it.
