This adds the ability to generate a single derivation for the entire cache directory (as opposed to individual derivations per dependency), and makes it the new default behavior.
The individual packaging has bothered me for quite a bit, because while it allows granular caching, I've found it is terribly slow in many cases. When there is no cache or preload, each derivation that has to be built takes seconds, because it has to invoke Node.js and load all of Yarn.
The generated
yarn-project.nix
is also a lot simpler, because there is just one hash now. It works a bit more likebuildGoModule
orbuildRustPackage
, in that sense.
