From ae244af242ca3621e5a3b9196f27d9fcbf297266 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julien Tanguy Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2019 14:18:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs: Use the explicit ref for fetchGit with a tag With the merge of #2582, the syntax "tags/1.9" for refs does not work anymore. However, the new syntax "refs/tags/1.9" seems to support annotated tags, such as "refs/tags/2.0". Closes #2385. --- doc/manual/expressions/builtins.xml | 5 +---- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/manual/expressions/builtins.xml b/doc/manual/expressions/builtins.xml index 39407c9ac..191fa7810 100644 --- a/doc/manual/expressions/builtins.xml +++ b/doc/manual/expressions/builtins.xml @@ -499,11 +499,8 @@ stdenv.mkDerivation { … } Fetching a tag builtins.fetchGit { url = "https://github.com/nixos/nix.git"; - ref = "tags/1.9"; + ref = "refs/tags/1.9"; } - Due to a bug (#2385), - only non-annotated tags can be fetched.
