[Nix-dev] nix-cache no longer available

[Richard Woodbury]

Thanks for that, Eelco.  I am now able to work.

I had also wanted to try the unstable release, but every time I try "nix-channel --update" with that in my list, it fails on trying to bunzip nixexprs.tar.bz2.  Verified 
with my locally installed tools:

$ wget "http://nixos.org/releases/nixpkgs/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.bz2"
...
$ file nixexprs.tar.bz2
nixexprs.tar.bz2: data
$ bunzip2 nixexprs.tar.bz2
bunzip2: nixexprs.tar.bz2 is not a bzip2 file.
