How would it look like ?
# name can be "", in this case it will be taken from the url as well
let makeName url name =
if name == "" then __getNameAndVersionFromURL url
else name ++ "-" ++ __getVersionFromURL url
; in
addName attr = attr // { name = makeName attr.src.url ( lib.getAttr [ "name" ]
"" attr ); }
