[Nix-dev] failing builder aborts other builds

[Florian Friesdorf]

Hi,

for parallel builds/downloads, one failing builder will kill all other
parallel builds (see below). I think it would be great if:
- an error message is printed
- the failing build is noted
- all parallel builds continue
- all builds that do not depend on the failed one are done
- and nix finally exits listing the accumulated errors

error: cannot download iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.221.4.1.tgz from any mirror
builder for `/nix/store/xmihzvvb33094c5jvsq257vqbhx5b4id-iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.221.4.1.tgz.drv' failed with exit code 1
killing process 23852
killing process 24508
killing process 24422
error: build of `/nix/store/xmihzvvb33094c5jvsq257vqbhx5b4id-iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.221.4.1.tgz.drv' failed

Opinions? What would it take to implement?

regards
florian
