A modern, delicious implementation of the Nix package manager, focused on correctness, usability, and growth — and committed to doing right by its community

this was a workaround for a *github* bug that happend *in 2015*. not only is github no longer buggy, it shouldn't have been nix's responsibility to work around these bugs like this to begin with while we're at it we'll also remove another workaround—again for github specifically and again for etag handling—from 2021 that's also not needed any more. future workarounds for serverside bugs should probably come with an expiration date that mutates into a build warning after a while, otherwise this *will* happen again.
