[Nix-dev] Short sha256

I see sometimes in nixpkgs sha256 strings shorter than those I receive
by a simple "sha256sum". I assume they aren't in hex, but in another
base.

Where do those strings come from?

I'm just curios. By now, I've always filled sha256 attributes with the
long strings from sha256sum.

Regards,
Lluís.
