emily	I believe https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/build-support/fetchurl/boot.nix is used for the boostrap	19:45:37
sielicki	`nix-repl> :e <nix/fetchurl.nix> error: cannot open '<nix/fetchurl.nix>' in an editor because it has no physical path` i do not understand what this is	19:50:16
sielicki	is `<nix/*>` special?	19:50:43
emily	yes, it's magic builtin stuff	19:51:13
emily	I think `builtins.fetchurl` is a wrapper around it or something (probably newer than `<nix/fetchurl.nix>`?)	19:51:23
emily	or vice versa	19:51:24
sielicki	`nix-repl> builtins.findFile builtins.nixPath "nix/fetchurl.nix" <nix/fetchurl.nix>` turtles all the way down	19:51:40
sielicki	okay, yes, it's right in the root of libexpr	19:52:25
