cache:
# The cache is additive. We can aways push more objects to it. The cabal
# system uses a hash mechanism so that different builds will never collide
# with each other. We can probably safely add to a single cache
# indefinitely so we don't try to make come up with a fancy cache key.
# Compared to trying to use a hash of our dependencies (or, eg, the .cabal
# file itself) as a cache key, this saves us a lot of rebuilding when we
# have a minor change in dependencies or packaging metadata. The possibly
# shortcoming of this approach is that the cache will grow without bounds
# as our dependencies change. It would be nice if there were a way to
# trim stale dependencies from it periodically.
key: "v0-cabal"
# Even if a build fails (eg because of a test suite failure or because the
# job timed out because building things took too long), there will be
# useful build artifacts worth caching - perhaps some new dependencies
# will have been built, for example. We may as well cache these.

# Cabal normally writes this directory to $HOME. However, we override

# checkout, since that's the only place we can cache files from.
