Motivation
It is not inherently tied to
LocalStore
, it could probably even go inlibnixutil
. Functions not attached toLocalStore
should not be declared inlocal-store.hh
.Context
I am moving it to facilitate experimenting for #9344. If canonicalisation should be done client-side in client-side builds, there wouldn't be a
LocalStore
at all so having to include that header to get this freestanding function is cumbersome and wrong.Perhaps canonicalisation should still be done server-side for security reasons --- I don't mean to make that judgement call now --- but even if so, this freestanding function still isn't connected to
LocalStore
so while less urgent it is still better to move out of this header.Priorities
