awesome website.
I wonder if you envisioned searching a version of package that satisfies constraints on its buildInputs ?
Right now I am trying to create a python environment with spacy and tensorflow but they use different versions of protobuf, with spacy depending on a neweer protobuf. which creates a collision. A tool that could list nixpkgs versions of spacy that depends upon the older protobuf version X would be helpful in this situation .

I recently noticed that this site does not seem to take the status of cache.nixos.org into account. It sometimes returns a nixpkgs commit and the requested package needs to be built from source even though for another nixpkgs commit, the same version would be available in the public cache.
Is this kind of cache-awareness planned in the future?
