What ever happened to the intensional model (i.e., a content-addressed
store)?  If derivation outputs were content-addressed, this would not be
a problem, right?

Ludovic Courtès <ludo@xxxxxxx> writes:

One problem is that it requires 100% reproducible builds; if something
doesn’t build reproducibly, you cannot get substitutes.

As our distance to truly reproducible builds decreases maybe that would
become a feature.
