shellFor results in cache misses for curl, perl, ...

[tbenst]

Quite possibly expected behavior or a user error, but I'm surprised to see all the cache misses with nix-shell -A shellFor. The haskell-related stuff seems to get pulled from cache as expected, but I'm having to build perl and curl and [...] for some reason. Which is weird as the Nix hydra definitely has these basic packages cached for 20.09. I'm guessing it's either due to a) overlays or b) an old 20.09 commit pinned.

{ # Fetch the latest haskell.nix and import its default.nix
  haskellNix ? import (builtins.fetchTarball "https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix/archive/master.tar.gz") {}

# haskell.nix provides access to the nixpkgs pins which are used by our CI,
# hence you will be more likely to get cache hits when using these.
# But you can also just use your own, e.g. '<nixpkgs>'.
, nixpkgsSrc ? haskellNix.sources.nixpkgs-2009

# haskell.nix provides some arguments to be passed to nixpkgs, including some
# patches and also the haskell.nix functionality itself as an overlay.
, nixpkgsArgs ? haskellNix.nixpkgsArgs

# import nixpkgs with overlays
, pkgs ? import nixpkgsSrc nixpkgsArgs
}: pkgs.haskell-nix.project {
  # 'cleanGit' cleans a source directory based on the files known by git
  src = pkgs.haskell-nix.haskellLib.cleanGit {
    name = "tylerbenstercom";
    src = ./.;
  };

  postInstall = ''
          wrapProgram $out/bin/site \
            --set LANG "en_US.UTF-8" \
            --set LOCALE_ARCHIVE "${pkgs.glibcLocales}/lib/locale/locale-archive"
        '';

  # Specify the GHC version to use.
  compiler-nix-name = "ghc8102"; # Not required for `stack.yaml` based projects.
}

That is odd. Is https://cache.nixos.org included in substituters in your nix.config along with its trusted-public-keys entry cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY=?
