Until now, it was not possible to substitute missing paths from e.g. `https://cache.nixos.org` on a remote server when building on it using the new `ssh-ng` protocol. This is because every store implementation except legacy `ssh://` ignores the substitution flag passed to `Store::queryValidPaths` while the `legacy-ssh-store` substitutes the remote store using `cmdQueryValidPaths` when the remote store is opened with `nix-store --serve`. This patch slightly modifies the daemon protocol to allow passing an integer value suggesting whether to substitute missing paths during `wopQueryValidPaths`. To implement this on the daemon-side, the substitution logic from `nix-store --serve` has been moved into a protected method named `Store::substitutePaths` which gets currently called from `LocalStore::queryValidPaths` and `Store::queryValidPaths` if `maybeSubstitute` is `true`. Fixes #2770 |

On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Nix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):
$ curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
Information on additional installation methods is available on the Nix download page.
Building And Developing
See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to build nix from source with nix-build or how to get a development environment.
