Nix is capable of that, but you need a database mapping versions to VCS refs.
Nixpkgs doesn't go down that road because it would be unwieldy at their scale, but more specialized nix-based tools do.

- haradion 4y agoAt least for (unlocked) flake sources, you could probably use a branch naming convention instead of a separate database, although that requires your repo to be set up a specific way.
