The immediate need for this has gone away.
I'm still slightly interested in the answer, in case it comes up again.
It seems I could do something like:
pkgconfig = pkgs : with pkgs; lib.overrideDerivation pkgs.pkgconfig (args: {
name = "pkgconfig-0.28";
src = fetchurl {
url = http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.28.tar.gz;
sha256 = "xxx";
};
});
is that right?
I guess it caches it locally rather than downloading it every time?
