Cannot use with fetchTarball after recent flakes migration due to builtins.fetchGit #1370

Closed cole-h closed 4 years ago

cole-h commented 4 years ago

The following shell.nix does not work:

let
  pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
  nixops = import (fetchTarball "https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/archive/master.tar.gz");
in
pkgs.mkShell {
  buildInputs = [ nixops ];
}

This is because of https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/blob/5a36c7b77c96ea0f843aed9a2e1e0ea451635886/default.nix#L5 -- there is no .git served with the master tarball, so no git commands will work.

Output of nix-shell --show-trace shell.nix:

fatal: '/nix/store/016174sf6gbrw96szs3f1nf6cgiz49xv-source' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
