Typical evaluation errors are: + +* Using a wrong license attribute in the metadata. +* Using a builtin fetcher because it will cause access to external URLs during evaluation. Use pkgs.fetch* instead (i.e. instead of `builtins.fetchGit` use `pkgs.fetchgit`) You can find out if your evaluation succeeded by checking the [latest travis build job]( https://travis-ci.com/github/nix-community/NUR/ ).
