Remove repeat and enforce-determinism options
These only functioned if a very narrow combination of conditions held: - The result path does not yet exist (--check did not result in repeated builds), AND - The result path is not available from any configured substituters, AND - No remote builders that can build the path are available. If any of these do not hold, a derivation would be built 0 or 1 times regardless of the repeat option. Thus, remove it to avoid confusion.

# Automatic and Optionally Enforced Determinism Verification
|
||||
|
||||
Automatically verify every build at build time by executing the build
|
||||
multiple times.
|
||||
|
||||
Setting `repeat` and `enforce-determinism` in your `nix.conf` permits
|
||||
the automated verification of every build Nix performs.
|
||||
|
||||
The following configuration will run each build three times, and will
|
||||
require the build to be deterministic:
|
||||
|
||||
enforce-determinism = true
|
||||
repeat = 2
|
||||
|
||||
Setting `enforce-determinism` to false as in the following
|
||||
configuration will run the build multiple times, execute the build
|
||||
hook, but will allow the build to succeed even if it does not build
|
||||
reproducibly:
|
||||
|
||||
enforce-determinism = false
|
||||
repeat = 1
|
||||
|
||||
An example output of this configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ nix-build ./test.nix -A unstable
