/* Prepare a derivation for local builds.
*
* This function prepares checkpoint builds by provinding,
* containing 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 prepareIncrementalBuild on the desired derivation
* e.G `incrementalBuildArtifacts = (pkgs.checkpointBuildTools.prepareCheckpointBuild pkgs.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 `mkCheckpointedBuild changedVBox buildOutput`
* - enjoy shorter build times
