And the long string is unpredictable. You can use fetchzip instead: fetchzip rec { name = "wmSMPmon-3.1.tar.gz"; url = "http://windowmaker.org/dockapps/?download=${name}"; sha256 = "1ahp2vg6w3pzg0aar61gm122q37ljhd8ni6g0p1vp0x1wbavgljl"; } It calculates the hash over the unpacked data, so changes in the mtime fields of the archive and other metadata don't matter. -- Eelco Dolstra | LogicBlox, Inc. | http://nixos.org/~eelco/ _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
