It's a WIP, but I hope it's understandable and contains the necessary information to start packaging something using the builtin derivation function.

This article is good, really good. Somehow despite having used plenty of builders in the past I barely even knew half of the stuff documented here.

I'm particularly interested in learning more about the special paths that derivation outputs can provide -- looking forward to seeing that section expanded.
