Oh, that would be sweet! I did try this first, but it didn't seem to
work. It produces the following:

$cat pkgs/servers/http/couchdb/src-for-default.nix
rec {
   version="./";
   name="unnamed-package-./";
   hash="";
   url="";
   advertisedUrl="./";


}

I wonder if it is because I'm not running NixOS, I just use Nix on top
of a Debian system, or perhaps there is a problem with the package
itself? After a few failed attempts (running the script from the svn
checkout instead of the actual pkgs dir etc.) it leads to the
following error "curl: (3) <url> malformed"
(full output attached). All failures seemed to produce the same
src-for-default.nix.

NIXPKGS_ALL wasn't set on my system so I set it manually:
export NIXPKGS_ALL=/nix/var/nix/gcroots/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs_unstable/pkgs
before running ./pkgs/build-support/upstream-updater/update-upstream-data.sh
pkgs/servers/http/couchdb/default.nix

Any tips?

Thanks,
