prefer-remote-fetch overlay
prefer-remote-fetch
is 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. To use it, put the following snippet as a new overlay:
self: super:
(super.prefer-remote-fetch self super)
A full configuration example for that sets the overlay up for your own account, could look like this
$ mkdir ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/
$ cat > ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/prefer-remote-fetch.nix <<EOF
self: super: super.prefer-remote-fetch self super
EOF
