# An overlay that download sources on remote builder.

# This is useful when the evaluating machine has a slow
|
|
# upload while the builder can fetch faster directly from the source.
|
|
# Usage: Put the following snippet in your usual overlay definition:
|
|
#
|
|
# self: super:
|
|
# (super.prefer-remote-fetch self super)
|
|
# Full configuration example for your own account:
|
|
#
|
|
# $ mkdir ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/
|
|
# $ echo 'self: super: super.prefer-remote-fetch self super' > ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/prefer-remote-fetch.nix
|
|
#
