[Nix-dev] Nix with fetchTarball that supports hash

[Freddy Rietdijk]

Hi,

On July the 26th support was added to `fetchTarball` for a `sha256`
attribute [1]. Since that commit, it is also possible to use `fetchTarball`
with the hash in restricted mode, thereby making it possible to load e.g.
an external repository with urls and hashes.

`nixUnstable` currently refers to a build from March 24th [1] and therefore
doesn't include this change yet. When could we expect a `nixUnstable` that
has this change, and when about would that become `nixStable`? Because of
the impact this change can have on automating version updates it would be
nice to get this in as soon as possible.
