From 031d70e5009fcce58afabc9113d5a5de4a16b19a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eelco Dolstra Date: Mon, 1 May 2017 17:35:30 +0200 Subject: Support arbitrary store URIs in nix.machines For backwards compatibility, if the URI is just a hostname, ssh:// (i.e. LegacySSHStore) is prepended automatically. Also, all fields except the URI are now optional. For example, this is a valid nix.machines file: local?root=/tmp/nix This is useful for testing the remote build machinery since you don't have to mess around with ssh. --- src/libstore/store-api.hh | 23 +++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'src/libstore/store-api.hh') diff --git a/src/libstore/store-api.hh b/src/libstore/store-api.hh index b763849ade93..2388558b3624 100644 --- a/src/libstore/store-api.hh +++ b/src/libstore/store-api.hh @@ -668,20 +668,31 @@ void removeTempRoots(); /* Return a Store object to access the Nix store denoted by ‘uri’ (slight misnomer...).
