Next to file.nix we get src-for-file.nix
src-for-file.nix should evaluate to a flat attribute set with
string values.
It is supposed to be imported in the main expression.
In the ideal world it can export url, hash, version.
src-for-file.nix generation is directed by
src-info-for-file.nix.
Attributes:
src-info-for-file.nix:
downloadPage
sourceRegexp (default = '.*[.]tar[.].*')
choiceCommand (default = 'head -1')
versionExtractorSedScript (default = 's/.*-([0-9.a-z]+)[.].*/\1/')
versionReferenceCreator (default = 's/-([0-9.a-z]+)[.]/-${version}./')
mirrorSedScript (default = none)
src-for-file.nix:
advertisedUrl (its match is the check for update presence)
url
hash
version
