Reliable cache on M-chip Macs

[enzokro]

Hi all,
Hoping someone here has come up with a solution to the eternal, annoying problem of image caches not working properly on M-chip macs. Specifically, a step like this will never properly cache, and it reruns every single time:

RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/pip pip install -r /tmp/requirements.txt

Has anyone come up with a patch, or best-practice way of fixing this issue? Given the large and bulky deps of ML libraries, this step makes development much slower.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, don't mind me over here fighting with our automated systems 🙄 I don't have an answer for you, but I'm happy to leave this open for a while in case someone else has one!
