no longer necessary:

github.com/NixOS/flake-registry

Pull nixpkgs as tarball from channels.nixos.org (another try)

Actually working solution for https://github.com/NixOS/flake-registry/pull/61. D…on't even ask what "exact" is doing here, but it's load-bearing for this to work. Stuff like `nix flake metadata nixpkgs/nixos-26.05` (and `nix flake metadata nixpkgs`) uses the channel tarballs, while `nix flake metadata nixpkgs/master` falls back to `github:nixos/nixpkgs/master`.
