Different hashes when download by Nix OS package manager

[arimatakao]

On Nix OS run command:

nix run github:arimatakao/mdx -- download --help

Installation error because the vendorHash in nix/default.nix is not set correctly:

mdx/nix/default.nix

Line 33 in 135b92b

vendorHash = "sha256-xHN+OrqodeK2vVZjGsH88OuHVcNtLbM+B4K5Ty45q0o=";

This happened because the dependencies in go.mod changed. Every time go.mod is updated, the vendorHash needs to be updated in the flake.nix. Unfortunately I don't know a better way around this other than updating the flake.nix manually.

Ok. So, can we update the vendorHash and run a specific version? The user will at least be able to run mdx on Nix.

nix run github:arimatakao/[email protected] -- download --help

I've done some research, turns out you can fix the version of the flake to a specific tag using the command:

nix run 'git+https://github.com/arimatakao/mdx?ref=refs/tags/v1.11.0' -- download --help

I've update #13 with the latest working version of mdx. A new tag (and an update to README.md) would be necessary to specify the new working version.

There are 2 ways to make this work: update #13 to mention the non-existent tag v1.12.4 in README.md, merge #13 and immediately create a new tag OR merge #13 as it is right now, release a new tag (v1.12.4, v1.13.0, etc) some time in the future, and then update the README.md with a new tag. The first option would mean that README.md has broken nix commands, the second option means, the second option means that the README.md has working nix commands which use and outdated version of mdx.
