I have a flake that downloads an EXE and unpacks it to get to an Electron app that's inside it for unofficially supported Linux support. I've previously done something similar with MacOS DMG files.

I think there will always be pointers to various files on the internet that we don't have controlled fetchers for. Flakes seems to be able to handle these pretty well with an input type of file. Is there any reason this can't be supported with flake-compat?

I think a solution could give this project what getFlakes returns for these file inputs:

{
    narHash = "sha256-…=";
    outPath = "/nix/store/…-source";
}

I'm getting this issue too, downloading an arbitrary JS file. Adding file input support would fix my package. Thanks!

flake: cleanup & expose dynamic output
f692a68 
Cleans up the nix flake as follows:

- conform to modern nixpkgs standards by removing the `with` statements
  and making scoping explicit
- removing `flake-compat` (which was broken on macos due to
  edolstra/flake-compat#53).

Additionally reworks the structure a little and makes the default flake
output dynamically linked, making it easier to consume from other nix
flakes (e.g. act).

Yes, this is what the file input type is for. But it's currently unsupported by flake-compat (see #44).
