• curprev 16:3916:39, 16 August 2018‎ imported>Gabriel439‎ 2,229 bytes −22‎ Rename `outputSha256` field to `sha256` - Now that there is only one argument for a SHA-256 hash we can rename it to `sha256` for consistency with other Nix utilities
• curprev 16:3416:34, 16 August 2018‎ imported>Gabriel439‎ 2,251 bytes −144‎ Remove `sha256` argument to `fetchNixpkgs` in favor of making `outputSha256` required. Reasons: (A) Nix 2.0 doesn't require `sha256`, (B) `outputSha256` subsumes `sha256`, (C) not required (<nix/fetchurl.nix> accepts `sha256 = null`)
