“cache” build failures, meaning that it will remember (in its

build the derivation again, Nix will immediately fail rather than

perform the build again. Failures in fixed-output derivations

(such as <function>fetchurl</function> calls) are never cached.

The “failed” status of a derivation can be cleared using

failure caching is disabled.</para></listitem>
