Where a `RealisedPath` is a store path with its history, meaning either an opaque path for stuff that has been directly added to the store, or a `Realisation` for stuff that has been built by a derivation This is a low-level refactoring that doesn't bring anything by itself (except a few dozen extra lines of code :/ ), but raising the abstraction level a bit is important on a number of levels: - Commands like `nix build` have to query for the realisations after the build is finished which is fragile (see 27905f12e4a7207450abe37c9ed78e31603b67e1 for example). Having them oprate directly at the realisation level would avoid that - Others like `nix copy` currently operate directly on (built) store paths, but need a bit more information as they will need to register the realisations on the remote side |
