Nix, the purely functional package manager

If you use an experimental feature not listed in the 'experimental-features' setting, you now get a warning rather than a fatal error. This makes things like the 'nix' command a bit less obnoxious. However, if you set 'allow-experimental-features = false', it's still a fatal error. This is primarily for CI systems where use of experimental features in the daemon could go unnoticed. |
