Introduction

The point of this script is to allow users to locally download all sources required to build a given Nix package.

The script relies on internal Nixpkgs tools that will download the sources in the nix store and verify the checksum.

If you run it multiple times, nothing more will be downloaded but it takes a bit of time to ensure each file is in the store.

how to use

To download sources required to build git and kakoune:

./run.sh git kakoune

If you want to use a different nixpkgs version than the one in your system:

./run.sh -f ~/path/to/nixpkgs/ git kakoune
