Is there some way to specify the name of the output path when using nix flake prefetch or fetchTree? I digged a little through the source code, and it seems like name is an attribute that defaults to source and passed around, but I couldn't find any way to change it to something other than the default. Don’t think so, it’s only allowed for fetchGit | 20:44:05 |

 figsoda | Thanks for the pointers, do you know if there is a design reason why that's the case? Or is it just that they haven't got around to implementing it, and it was just there so fetchGit can use fetchTree | 20:48:11 |

Or is it just that they haven't got around to implementing it, and it was just there so fetchGit can use fetchTree Honestly I don’t know. “source” is special-cases in all sorts of places in the store layer and the justification is probably along the lines of why that used to be preferred for FOD fetchers in nixpkgs - when changing the fetcher the outpath would stay the same. Whether that’s a good idea is another question | 20:50:09 |

| figsoda | Thanks anyway, I'll probably open an issue later | 20:51:16 |
 eveeifyeve | Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): is it werid for a test to error out on my pr? Because I can't seem to debug the netrc isn't an absolute path thing. | 20:52:03 |

| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Builtin builder does set it to a relative path apparently | 20:54:33 |
| eveeifyeve | Huh werid? | 20:55:56 |
