# Script to update the toolchain-manifest.toml file which is used in the nix build.
#
# nixpkgs doesn't package rust nightly, so the Mozilla nixpkgs Rust overlay is used,
# which can download the rust toolchain if given a manifest file (a sha256 hash can also be used
# in which case the overlay downloads the manifest file with fetchurl).
# The nice thing about this manifest file is that the nix builds are fully hermetic.
# The downside is that now both nixpkgs needs to be updated (with nix flake update)
# and the toolchain manifest.
#
# To update the toolchain to the latest nightly, run
# $ nix develop
# $ updateToolchainManifest
# The script also accepts arguments for a different rust channel (first argument)
# or a specific nightly date (e.g. updateToolchainManifest nightly 2022-02-19)
