ndi: retrieve tarball when users have expressed consent via $NIXPKGS_CONFIG #82617

Open peti opened 4 years ago

peti commented 4 years ago

The ndi build should automatically fetch the source tarball from upstream if (and only if) the user has configured some explicit setting in $NIXPKGS_CONFIG, confirming that they accept NewTek's EULA:

$ wget -O InstallNDISDK_v4_Linux.tar.gz http://new.tk/NDISDKLINUX

Other proprietary packages in Nixpkgs are doing the same thing, so it's probably okay. This feels simpler that forcing the user to download that file themselves.

Hello, I'm a bot and I thank you in the name of the community for opening this issue.

To help our human contributors focus on the most-relevant reports, I check up on old issues to see if they're still relevant. This issue has had no activity for 180 days, and so I marked it as stale, but you can rest assured it will never be closed by a non-human.

The community would appreciate your effort in checking if the issue is still valid. If it isn't, please close it.

If the issue persists, and you'd like to remove the stale label, you simply need to leave a comment. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". If you'd like it to get more attention, you can ask for help by searching for maintainers and people that previously touched related code and @ mention them in a comment. You can use Git blame or GitHub's web interface on the relevant files to find them.

Lastly, you can always ask for help at our Discourse Forum or at #nixos' IRC channel.
