Add a new table for tracking the derivation output mappings. We used to hijack the `DerivationOutputs` table for that, but (despite its name), it isn't a really good fit: - Its entries depend on the drv being a valid path, making it play badly with garbage collection and preventing us to copy a drv output without copying the whole drv closure too; - It dosen't guaranty that the output path exists; By using a different table, we can experiment with a different schema better suited for tracking the output mappings of CA derivations. (incidentally, this also fixes #4138) |
