Hi!
I've just commited support for "restricted downloads" in fetchurl. The idea
is that you can write
src = fetchurl {
url = "http://restricted.noltd/download.html";
name = "my_restricted_src.zip";
restricted = true;
sha256 = "myhash";
};
When a user will try to build this package, fetchurl will show message like
"go to ${url}, download ${name} and add it using nix-store --add-fixed
sha256".
I hope that this commit breaks nothing. If not, please ping me before
reverting. I will be on-line most time tomorrow.
P.S.: What do you think about printing this message in bold or in red?
