2007/7/18, Eelco Dolstra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Maybe a nice approach would be for fetchurl to be expanded to look for tarballs
in a set of default URLs.  So if you have

  fetchurl {
    src = http://example.org/tarball.tar.bz2;
    md5 = HASH;
  }

it would first try to download from (say)
http://nix.cs.uu.nl/dist/tarballs/HASH-tarball.tar.bz2 and maybe some more
(configurable) locations.

Support for URLs like sourceforge:// or gentoo:// (with configurable
substitutions) would be another fine feature.
