![]() `buildPaths` can be called even for stores where it's not defined in case it's bound to be a no-op. The “no-op detection” mechanism was only detecting the case wher `buildPaths` was called on a set of (non-drv) paths that were already present on the store. This commit extends this mechanism to also detect the case where `buildPaths` is called on a set of derivation outputs which are already built on the store. This only works with the ca-derivations flag. It could be possible to extend this to also work without it, but it would add quite a bit of complexity, and it's not used without it anyways. |
