flush to eval cache #225

Open tomberek opened 1 year ago

Occasionally flush the eval cache transaction to allow easier checkpointing and restart.

There is no eval cache in nix-eval-jobs. For CI usage it would be not very effective, except for rare rebuilds of the same commit. We could enable the cache as an opt-in for other use cases.

It would be interesting to incorporate a more useful eval cache into nix-eval-jobs: https://github.com/numtide/nix-eval-cache (this one works more like make using timestamps and is more granular as it looks at files rather than git commit).
