Possible values and the resulting `.name`: - `"source"` -> `"source"` - `"versioned"` -> `"''${repo}-''${rev}-source"` - `"full"` -> `"''${repo}-''${rev}-''${fetcherName}-source"` The default `"source"` is the best choice for minimal rebuilds, it will ignore any non-hash changes (like branches being renamed, source URLs changing, etc) at the cost of `/nix/store` being easily cache-poisoned (see [NixOS/nix#969](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/969)). Setting this to `"versioned"` greatly helps with discoverability of sources in `/nix/store` and makes cache-poisoning of `/nix/store` much harder, at the cost of a single mass-rebuild for all `src` derivations, and an occasional rebuild when a source changes some of its non-hash attributes. Setting this to `"full"` is similar to setting it to `"versioned"`, but the use of `fetcherName` in the derivation name will force a rebuild when `src` switches between `fetch*` functions, thus forcing `nix` to check new derivation's `outputHash`, which is useful for debugging. Also, `"full"` is useful for easy collection and tracking of statistics of where the packages you use are hosted. If you are a developer, you should probably set this to at least`"versioned"`. Changing the default will cause a mass rebuild.
