[Nix-dev] nix-channel --update

[Mathijs Kwik]

Cool, I'm anxious to learn what new goodies you have dreamed up for us :)

For the moment, I found that nix-pull manually still does the trick.

binary-cache substituter... I saw some errors related to that earlier
(undefined "Unauthorized" in /nix/store/.....-binary-cache, something
like that), which was why I emptied by manifests dir in the first
place.

But nothing serious all in all =)
