[Nix-dev] nixpkgs Dependencies Availability Test

[Peter Simons]

Hi Martin,

Eelco suggested [1] the command

  nix-store -r $(grep -l outputHash $(nix-store -qR $(nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs>' -A foobar) | grep '.drv$'))

to download all sources for "foobar", which seems more robust than
ad-hoc parsing of the Nixpkgs tree. Maybe this technique can help
simplify your approach?

Best regards,
Peter
