hi everyone,
i want to add more or less the following howto to the wiki. there is
just one question remaining, which i'd like to sort out beforehand,
namely what is the distinction between nix-store --add and
nix-prefetch-url and the resulting store paths?
would anyone care to enlighten me?
to summarize i don't understand, why:
# nix-store --add test.mp4
stores into
/nix/store/z3wnqmfzqfmz5gis55bvymx3jbpgx7s5-test.mp4
which coincides with
# nix-store --print-fixed-path --recursive sha256 \
$(nix-hash --type sha256 --base32 test.mp4) test.mp4
against
# nix-prefetch-url
No, but it suggests this instead which probably yields the same store
path?:
nix-store --add-fixed sha256 jdk-6u45-linux-x64.bin
I don't know what the exact difference is, I'm also too lazy to look it
up.

oh cool. yes, it does yield the same path as nix-prefetch-url.
together with the observation, that nix-store --add also
You're welcome. Keep asking and start/continue contributing.
