Update any fetcher call that can be prefetched with nix-prefetch.
git clone https://github.com/msteen/nix-upfetch.git
cd nix-upfetch
nix-env --install --file release.nix
- Can update most packages as in the example, see Limitations.
- Can work with string interpolated bindings, see Examples.
- Aside from fetcher arguments a version can be supplied, so that its binding will also be modified.
- Can handle
${majorMinor version}in an URL.
- Cannot handle inheriting fetcher arguments from an expression, i.e.
inherit (args) sha256;will fail, butinherit sha256;works (see next point). - Can only handle attribute set and let bindings, so it cannot handle
withexpressions or function arguments at the moment.
Can handle interpolated bindings and simple inherits:
{ stdenv, fetchurl }:

Update a GitHub revision:
