Description
In https://nix.dev/tutorials/ad-hoc-developer-environments.html#towards-reproducibility , nixpkgs is explictly set to an archive link.
It would be nice if it was described how to get this link -- even better if nix had an easy way of providing it, so I could quickly snapshot "my current" nix install to send to other people.

Research direction
Read the “Towards reproducibility” section at nix.dev/tutorials/ad-hoc-developer-environments.html#towards-reproducibility and inspect how the nixpkgs archive link is currently used. Document how readers can obtain such a link, and treat the request for an automatic snapshot mechanism as a separate scope question; done means the tutorial explains the process clearly.
