Sand Witch	In reply to @ners:nixos.dev I'm trying to build a statically linked Haskell executable using `pkgsStatic`. If I'm understanding `release-haskell.nix` correctly, this derivation and all its deps should be cached: `pkgsStatic.haskell.packages.native-bignum.ghc984.hello` I expect it to pull it from cache, but instead it starts building GHC from source. Am I missing something about how we cache things? BTW, ghc 9.6 and higher are broken on pkgsStatic: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/275304	07:34:49
ners	In reply to @maralorn:maralorn.de Does that help?^^ Yes that worked! Thank you. :)	07:43:40
MangoIV	In reply to @root:sandwitch.dev BTW, ghc 9.6 and higher are broken on pkgsStatic: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/275304 More specifically, the issue is that any Hadrian-built GHC is broken, iirc	12:40:52
