Yeah I've been neglecting aarch64 support for Cachix as nixpkgs has been hitting issues one after another to just get us the tooling.
I plan to release 0.4.0 soon and will then give this another try if we fix the nixpkgs blocker.
Well, that's why I assumed that defaulting to a working nixpkgs stable branch might be preferable in aarch64 case. (I haven't looked into what you do elsewhere.)
Thanks for the report! Newly released 0.5.0 now also has fast install with aarch64 binary and that is now tested for the future releases!
I do know aarch64 is in trouble, so perhaps that's why the instructions aren't optimal. I tried them
and it started compiling (the GHC bootstrap process), and I really didn't want to wait for that (and perhaps it would even fail due to some issue like above).
Workaround: I looked at the latest Hydra.nixos.org binary for 20.03 and just passed the (locally non-existing) /nix/store path to
nix-env -i
... and installed in a second.
