Thanks Mike.
On your last question I don't have a ready example but I noticed several
times that I had to update the sha256 hash but not the version number.
Possible I'm mistaken, so if I notice it again I'll post in this thread.
What is true for certain is that the nix R packages use source urls
I was talking with another nix user a while back about this problem, and I
don't think there's a good solution at the moment.
One thing that strikes me is that when release packages get updated the old
versions get put in an archive and the source tarball remains available
e.g.

they have self-archived / mirrored the packages,
which is not ideal.
The Bio.tools people also ran into that issue earlier,
and as mentioned in [1] is now fixed on the bioconductor side
with stable download links.

Hi
I am working to make bioconductor packages available through the nix
package manager (https://nixos.org/). Currently nixpkgs points to a source
url on one of the bioconductor mirrors. nixpkgs tracks the url and a sha256
hash of the unpacked source link. Unfortunately the links themselves often
