2004-06-28	* Added a switch `--fallback'. From the manual:	Eelco Dolstra	1	-7/+7
	Whenever Nix attempts to realise a derivation for which a closure is already known, but this closure cannot be realised, fall back on normalising the derivation. The most common scenario in which this is useful is when we have registered substitutes in order to perform binary distribution from, say, a network repository. If the repository is down, the realisation of the derivation will fail. When this option is specified, Nix will build the derivation instead. Thus, binary installation falls back on a source installation. This option is not the default since it is generally not desirable for a transient failure in obtaining the substitutes to lead to a full build from source (with the related consumption of resources).
2004-05-11	* True parallel builds. Nix can now run as many build jobs in	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	parallel as possible (similar to GNU Make's `-j' switch). This is useful on SMP systems, but it is especially useful for doing builds on multiple machines. The idea is that a large derivation is initiated on one master machine, which then distributes sub-derivations to any number of slave machines. This should not happen synchronously or in lock-step, so the master must be capable of dealing with multiple parallel build jobs. We now have the infrastructure to support this. TODO: substitutes are currently broken.
