A very interesting project! Does the following:
> Packages are never overwritten after they have been built; instead, if you change the build description of a package (its â??Nix expressionâ??), itâ??s rebuilt and installed in a different path in /nix/store so it doesnâ??t interfere with the old version.
mean that upgrading a library due to e.g. security fixes requires
recompiling all packages that depend on it?
