This is a hack to make hydra-queue-runner free its temproots periodically, thereby ensuring that garbage collection of the corresponding paths is not blocked until the queue runner is restarted. It would be better if temproots could be released earlier than at process exit. I started working on a RAII object returned by functions like addToStore() that releases temproots. However, this would be a pretty massive change so I gave up on it for now.
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 http://nixos.org/nix/manual.
