There was a problem hiding this comment.
Seems nice and makes the requirements more obvious. I think this would help quite a bit to optimise the stuff down the line.

This should be more clear now too.

The hope is to make `DerivationBuilder` easier to use with much less of libnixstore. Co-authored-by: Amaan Qureshi <git@amaanq.com>

Motivation
DerivationBuildercurrently does store work itself, registering outputs and cleaning up at the end of the build, which couples it to a fullStoreeven though building only needs the store layout. These commits move that responsibility to the caller and switch the builder toStoreDirConfigwhere possible, soDerivationBuilderno longer requires aStore.Add 👍 to pull requests you find important.
