check goals for timeouts first, and their activity fds only if no timeout has occurred. checking for timeouts *after* activity sets us up for assertion failures by running multiple build completion notifiers, the first of which will kill/reap the the goal process and consuming the Pid instance. when the second notifier attempts to do the same it will core dump with an assertion failure in Pid and take down not only the single goal, but the entire daemon and all goals it was building. luckily this is rare in practice since it requires a build to both finish and time out at the same time. writing a test for this is not feasible due to how much it relies on scheduling to actually trigger the underlying bug, but on idle machines it can usually be triggered by running multiple sleeping builds with timeout set to the sleep duration and `--keep-going`: nix-build --timeout 10 --builders '' --keep-going -E ' with import <nixpkgs> {}; builtins.genList (i: runCommand "foo-${toString i}" {} "sleep 10") 100 ' Change-Id: I394d36b2e5ffb909cf8a19977d569bbdb71cb67b |

Lix
Lix is an implementation of Nix, a powerful package management system for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible.
Read more about us at https://lix.systems.
Installation
On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Nix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):
$ curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install
For systems that already have Nix installed, such as NixOS systems, read our install page
Building And Developing
See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to to set up a development environment and build Lix from source.
