@Mic92 there is none, but since `fetchurl` is introduced without context I assumed it was `builtins.fetchurl` instead of nixpkgs' `fetchurl`, hence my confusion

@zmitchell thanks for bringing this up! I've been thinking about deprecating niv for a while (I'm using flakes myself) but it looks like people are still finding it useful. >...

Hi @rscorer, thanks for the report. Does this happen consistently? What happens if you run the failing command? ``` $ nix-prefetch-url --unpack https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/archive/20f65b86b6485decb43c5498780c223571dd56ef.tar.gz --name 20f65b86b6485decb43c5498780c223571dd56ef.tar.gz ```

It's unrelated. Thanks for the PR!

Thanks a lot! I guess all of those are recognized by Nix too?
