There are already two versions in nixpkgs ("fetchMaven" and
"fetchMavenArtifact") which are just wrappers for "fetchurl".Basicaly "fetchMaven" is merely a function giving argument "org.scala-lang:scala-compiler:2.11.11" produces a derivation by downloading two files https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/scala-lang/scala-compiler/2.11.11/scala-compiler-2.11.11.pom https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/scala-lang/scala-compiler/2.11.11/scala-compiler-2.11.11.jar into $out/share/java/. Besides the obvious hacky ways, how would it be possible to implement "fetchMaven" in a way that the output path in nixstore depend only on the argument ? Only on the string "org.scala-lang:scala-compiler:2.11.11" and not on curl version or buildScript's evolution (e.g. it could download PGP signature and validate it) Then the jar files would be easily discoverable by the external tools doing the same calculation. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl https://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
