Distributed cacheable build results? #12

Closed ctheune closed 2 years ago

So,

theoretically we could speed things up even further if we include more data in the hash and then could just copy over build results from other locations/machines similar to nix. Obviously this isn't going to be perfect, but maybe good enough to be helpful.

We'd need at least:

operating system (uname?)
target path (venvs are not portable)
python version
version of appenv (hash of the appenv file?)
... others? ...

I don't think this will ever happen.
