|
<para>Nix supports distributed builds, where a local Nix installation can
|
||
|
|
forward Nix builds to other machines over the network. This allows
|
||
|
|
multiple builds to be performed in parallel (thus improving
|
||
|
|
performance) and allows Nix to perform multi-platform builds in a
|
||
|
|
semi-transparent way. For instance, if you perform a build for a
|
||
|
|
<literal>powerpc-darwin</literal> on an <literal>i686-linux</literal>
|
||
|
|
machine, Nix can automatically forward the build to a
|
||
|
|
<literal>powerpc-darwin</literal> machine, if available.</para>
