Subject: Switch from 'nix eval' to 'nix-instantiate --eval'
X-Git-Url: http://git.scottworley.com/auto-upgrade-with-pinch/commitdiff_plain/e830691a697a3a5d0e4461ceb073ac36abdfe3d6

Switch from 'nix eval' to 'nix-instantiate --eval'

Nix 2.4 changed the interface to 'nix eval' so that --arg doesn't work anymore.

This is a workaround for https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2678
