Bryan Richter 5fe375a8f1 nix-prefetch-url: Add --executable flag ... pkgs.fetchurl supports an executable argument, which is especially nice when downloading a large executable. This patch adds the same option to nix-prefetch-url. I have tested this to work on the simple case of prefetching a little executable: 1. nix-prefetch-url --executable https://my/little/script 2. Paste the hash into a pkgs.fetchurl-based package, script-pkg.nix 3. Delete the output from the store to avoid any misidentified artifacts 4. Realise the package script-pkg.nix 5. Run the executable I repeated the above while using --name, as well. I suspect --executable would have no meaningful effect if combined with --unpack, but I have not tried it.		2020-09-18 19:09:45 +03:00
