/* Prepare a derivation for local builds.
*
* This function prepares checkpoint builds by storing
* the build output and the sources for cross checking.
* The build output can be used later to allow checkpoint builds
* by passing the derivation output to the `mkCheckpointBuild` function.
*
* To build a project with checkpoints, follow these steps:
* - run `prepareCheckpointBuild` on the desired derivation, e.g.
* checkpointArtifacts = prepareCheckpointBuild virtualbox;
* - change something you want in the sources of the package,
* e.g. using source override:
* changedVBox = pkgs.virtuabox.overrideAttrs (old: {
* src = path/to/vbox/sources;
* };
* - use `mkCheckpointBuild changedVBox checkpointArtifacts`
* - enjoy shorter build times
