Few interesting changes this time; interesting changes include: =E2=80=A2 Fixed-output derivations (such as downloads) are now also run i= n a chroot environment. The difference with other derivations is that they do not get a separate network name space, which allows them to access the network, and they get additional files such as /etc/resolv.conf. =E2=80=A2 pivot_root(2) is used in addition to chroot(2), which is claime= d to really prevent getting out of the chroot (though in practice build processes are non-root so I don=E2=80=99t see how they could get away.) =E2=80=A2 The =E2=80=98verifyStore=E2=80=99 RPC (more on that soon.) Please report any issues! Ludo=E2=80=99.
