Right, but at the same time we want binary caches. By ‘default’ I mean mostly ‘the one that Hydra builds all the Haskell packages with’. I have no doubt that we'd do this for multiple versions if the resources allowed but Hydra is bogged down as it is. -- Mateusz K. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
