I've worked around this using nix-repository-manager by intorducing
regions, it looks like this:
# REGION AUTO UPDATE: { name="haxe-unstable"; type="svn";
url="http://haxe.googlecode.com/svn/trunk";; }
src = (fetchurl { url =
"http://mawercer.de/~nix/repos/haxe-unstable-svn-6387.tar.bz2";; sha256 =
"18bcdf23d7ed32d0bafaf4a0acbc9715ea6c30ae22642cb8b797c870098835c0"; });
name = "haxe-unstable-svn-6387";
# END
its not perfect, but does all I need:
- it documents where to get updates from
- it knows which piece of code gets updated
- it inserts that piece of code
- still simple, everything is in one place without too many additional
files.
But its only my quick and dirty way to cope with some update problems.
