Question: How to properly cache node-gyp builds?

Hello,

Description:

I'm struggling to figure out how to properly cache node-gyp builds. This adds +30s to my yarn install, by rebuilding them every time yarn install runs.

After manually caching and restoring the build paths, it still triggers a new gyp build every yarn install. The paths I cached:

# Cache location of node headers
~/.cache/node-gyp
# Explicit caching of the affected packages
node_modules/cpu-features/build
node_modules/unix-dgram/build

My previous question in the node-gyp repo lead me here. The suggestion was to look into node-gyp-build.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Justification:

Save myself time and the planet by not wasting electricity.

Are you willing to submit a PR?

Of course.
