[Nix-dev] Multiple outputs: is a first output necessary?

[Freddy Rietdijk]

Hi,

I'm using Nix and now also multiple outputs for my data analysis and
simulations. Many scripts generate several files and instead of having them
together in the same store path I would prefer to put them in separate
store paths.

I'm not using any of the common outputs like $out and $bin. The multiple
outputs feature seems to require that $out is used. Therefore I now just
put a single file in $out. What is the reason this is needed? I saw in the
documentation that leftover files are typically put in $out.
