It consists of two functions to make checkpoint builds using Nix possible. + +For hermeticity, Nix derivations do not allow any state to carry over between builds, making a transparent incremental build within a derivation impossible. + +However, we can tell Nix explicitly what the previous build state was, by representing that previous state as a derivation output. This allows the passed build state to be used for an incremental build. + +To change a normal derivation to a checkpoint based build, these steps must be taken: + - apply `prepareCheckpointBuild` on the desired derivation + e.g.: +```nix +checkpointArtifacts = (pkgs.checkpointBuildTools.prepareCheckpointBuild pkgs.virtualbox); +``` + - change something you want in the sources of the package.
