That's an odd one! I'll try to find some time this week to reproduce, thanks for the report!

Yes, in most cases it uses `nix-prefetch-url`. I've also noticed this; I'm not quite sure what's happening, though I'm not sure either how `nix-prefetch-url` works. Would need to dig into...
Oh wow, thank you!
@exarkun can you confirm @duairc 's hypothesis above by applying the following diff to any of your `sources.nix`? ``` diff diff --git a/nix/sources.nix b/nix/sources.nix index 1938409..7054127 100644 --- a/nix/sources.nix +++...
I agree this would be nice! right now we differentiate between "github" and "git" dependencies, I guess some cases would be a bit ambiguous (but this would be based on...
