Do Emacs packages from the overlay get cached in the nix-community binary cache as well? I always seem to need to rebuild them

hey folks, I'm looking at the pkgs.emacsPackages.trivialBuild, why we don't native-compile instead of just byte-compile?

In reply to @me:linj.tech
Acutally, native compilation is indeed done. See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/978b2a29b8dcfa61155dcc30334fb2f148f27205/pkgs/build-support/emacs/generic.nix#L68

Hi. I am trying to use org 9.7 and a newer version of org-contacts (using emacs-overlay), but it's not loading the newer version, still getting 9.6 when I do org-version.

Here's my snippet:

programs = {
      emacs = {
              enable = true;
              package = (pkgs.emacsWithPackagesFromUsePackage {
                config = ./config.org;
                defaultInitFile = true;
                alwaysTangle = true;
                package = pkgs.emacs-unstable-pgtk;
                alwaysEnsure = true;
                extraEmacsPackages = epkgs: [
                  epkgs.vterm
                  epkgs.use-package
                  epkgs.elpaDevelPackages.org
                  epkgs.elpaDevelPackages.org-contacts
                ];
              });
      };
    };

Did you meet this build error: https://github.com/nix-community/emacs-overlay/issues/391

Hey guys, did anyone succeed building emacs-jupyter, either nixpkgs version or the melpa one? I always run into an error
segmentation fault
in the setup script of
stdenv-linux.
The area of crash looks like following:

if [ "$curPhase" = unpackPhase ]; then                                    
        # make sure we can cd into the directory                              
        [ -n "${sourceRoot:-}" ] && chmod +x "${sourceRoot}"                  
                                                                              
        cd "${sourceRoot:-.}"
