Bootstrapping the build tooling can take several hours on a laptop, therefore it
is recommended enable the binary caches and to farm massive rebuilds to large
multicore machines. The Nix flake is prepared for continous builds with a

- *Flake* - a code repository containing a `flake.nix` file describing
dependency repositories. The evaulation of flakes may only form directed
dependency repositories. The evaluation of flakes may only form ascyclic
graphs. Repositories packaged here may themselves contain a `flake.nix`
file that refers to this repository, but these repositories cannot be inputs
to the Genodepkgs flake.
- *Genode core* - Genode component of highest privilege. The core is located
conceptually at the bottom and root of the component tree. Core might be
directly above the kernel, or acting as the kernel. The role of core is a
subset of the role of the kernel in a monolithic system.
- *Lower* - lowering a subsystem is moving it closer to the Genode core
and increasing privilege.
- *Raise* - raising a subsystem is moving it further away from the Genode core
and decreasing privilege.
- *Package* - *undefined*
