<listitem><para>If set to <literal>true</literal>, Nix will
“cache” build failures, meaning that it will remember (in its
database) that a derivation previously failed. If you then try to
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
<command>nix-store --clear-failed-paths</command>. By default,
failure caching is disabled.</para></listitem>
