Adds a new boolean structured attribute `outputChecks.<output>.unsafeDiscardReferences` which disables scanning an output for runtime references. __structuredAttrs = true; outputChecks.out.unsafeDiscardReferences = true; This is useful when creating filesystem images containing their own embedded Nix store: they are self-contained blobs of data with no runtime dependencies. Setting this attribute requires the experimental feature `discard-references` to be enabled. |
