Temporarily add user-write permission to build directory so that it can be moved out of the sandbox to the store with a .check suffix. This is necessary because the build directory has already had its permissions set read-only, but write permission is required to update the directory's parent link to move it out of the sandbox. Updated the related --check "derivation may not be deterministic" messages to consistently use the real store paths. Added test for non-root sandbox nix-build --check -K to demonstrate issue and help prevent regressions.
Nix, the purely functional package manager
Nix is a new take on package management that is fairly unique. Because of its purity aspects, a lot of issues found in traditional package managers don't appear with Nix.
To find out more about the tool, usage and installation instructions, please read the manual, which is available on the Nix website at https://nixos.org/nix/manual.
