There are many support questions when people add a new binary cache and they suddenly lose nixos substitutions. Most of the users want to keep that, so we're doing a breaking change. Previously to disable all binary caches one had to do: nix.binaryCache = []; Now the same is possible via: nix.binaryCache = lib.mkForce;
*** NixOS *** NixOS is a Linux distribution based on the purely functional package management system Nix. More information can be found at http://nixos.org/nixos and in the manual in doc/manual.
