  • nixpkgs

    Nix Packages collection & NixOS

  • Or consider just using the inputDerivation attribute, see PR for details. May be some difference, though, not sure.

  • upload-daemon

    A daemon that asynchronously copies paths to a remote store.

  • ... Except that this solution is still wrong: it skips IFD dependencies. In fact, as far as I'm aware, there's no good solution for this problem as of now. It will either have false negatives, like most of them do, or false-positives, like uploading from post-build-hook. If you're more interested in having everything you build on your CI runner uploaded to cache, maybe take a look at https://github.com/serokell/upload-daemon . It does so asynchronously, without hogging your CPU with compression, and also does error reporting.
