This particular issue of substitute URLs is fixed in fb4bf72. The more general problem remains though: for all the other options, like max-build-jobs, timeout, etc., the client settings take precedence over the daemon settings because the ‘set-build-options’ RPC doesn’t provide a way to say “use default value.” The fix for that will be either: (1) a ‘set-build-options2’ RPC that has a way to leave some settings unchanged, or (2) a ‘get-build-options’ RPC. Option (1) is simpler and more efficient, but option (2) could be interesting. Ludo’.
