This resolves #3810 by changing the behavior of
max-jobs = 0
, sothat specifying the option also avoids local building of derivations
with the attribute
preferLocalBuild = true
.A more complicated resolution was suggested by @grahamc in #3810, that also made it possible to retain the original behavior of
max-jobs=0
. However, it has been suggested (here and here) that just lettingpreferLocalbuild
respectmax-jobs=0
is an acceptable solution too.
