InstallAssistant.pkg fails.

[brockm218]

On two different machines, the download for the InstallAssistant.pkg file from Apple (https://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/05/02/062-78643-A_T7YK72IEUB/f6jf452yv3xah9gljv28yxjs5x5bm7p1fr/InstallAssistant.pkg) is failing.

Appears that the link is no longer available.

Problem lies on line 9 here:

NixThePlanet/makeDarwinImage/default.nix

Line 9 in b70d951

Hmm yes, feels like a nix bug to me @roberth

Actually, no, sorry. This happens when trying to download the file even in a web browser. Who knows exactly what Apple have done here. Maybe they're using some custom client for fetching that can handle this strange behavior, or maybe their servers are having a bad day?

Would it be possible/plausible to implement https://github.com/corpnewt/gibMacOS ?

@brockm218 Yeah, that would be great. PRs welcome until I get some time to work on this.
