feature request: force update
yshui opened this issue · comments
Some urls used in nix will have different contents overtime, for example: https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/channel-rust-nightly.toml used by the fenix rust overlay to fetch manifests; or https://code.visualstudio.com/sha/download?build=insider&os=linux-x64, which is suggested here for fetching insider builds of vscode.
What I observed is, niv update does nothing for those urls. Is it because their url is fixed? If so, can niv update have an option to update of the sha256s regardless if the urls are unchanged?
Yes that's right! Let's continue the discussion here: #240
