I’m trying to figure out why the ocaml package builds on my machine (x86_64-darwin) instead of downloading from cache. I’ve determined that it isn’t building on hydra.nixos.org, but after that I’ve hit a dead end.
According to NixOS package search, the package is available for my platform. However, the link to Hydra on that page leads to the following message:
This job is not a member of the latest evaluation of its jobset. This means it was removed or had an evaluation error.
I can’t figure out how to find any relevant Hydrra error logs, or a record of when it started failing. How can I proceed to look into this further?
Not all package sets are build. Only the once that have something like ocamlPackages = recurseIntoAttrs ...; in its declaration in all-packages.nix are build by hydra.
But it seems to clash with with your description of it as a dependency of another package (unless it’s part of some uncached package set–is “another package” here a member of ocamlPackages?)
It’s also possible, depending on what/how you’re building (most likely if you’re working from a local nixpkgs checkout, or perhaps a pin of a specific commit depending on how you picked it), that you’re working from a commit that falls between cached builds?
