Haskell + GitHub Actions + Cachix

README.md

1. Put ci.yaml into .github/workflows/
2. Follow https://github.com/cachix/cachix-action#usage to setup Cachix and benefit from quick CI build times.

Ah right - what to do here then? (Sorry - haven't messed around with haskell.nix too much)

Pass the following to project function:

  modules = [{
    nonReinstallablePkgs =                                                                                                                                                                    
      [ "rts"
        "ghc-heap"
        "ghc-prim"
        "integer-gmp"

Ah yep, that seems to work better :-)

This is outdated because the iohk cachix cache is no longer updated.

Yeah, you need to use hydra.iohk.io
