Some users have their own hashed-mirrors setup, that is used to mirror things in addition to what’s available on tarballs.nixos.org. Although this should be feasable to do with a Binary Cache, it’s not always easy, since you have to remember what "name" each of the tarballs has. Continuing to support hashed-mirrors is cheap, so it’s best to leave support in Nix. Note that NIX_HASHED_MIRRORS is also supported in Nixpkgs through fetchurl.nix. Note that this excludes tarballs.nixos.org from the default, as in \#3689. All of these are available on cache.nixos.org. |
