Heya Mathieu,

OK, but isn’t there a risk of recording the same set of derivations at
every evaluation?

Basically, between two subsequent evaluations, 99% of the derivations
are exactly the same (assuming an evaluation is triggered at each git
push, and each git push adds/modifies just a handful of packages).  If
we record new builds for these 99%, even though nothing has changed,
then that’s potentially bad, no?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
