|
|
|
2. Modify `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages.json`, to add, update,
|
|
|
|
or remove package entries.
|
|
|
|
3. Run the script: `cd pkgs/development/node-packages && sh generate.sh`.
|
|
|
|
4. Build your new package to test your changes: `cd /path/to/nixpkgs &&
|
|
|
|
nix-build -A nodePackages.<new-or-updated-package>`. To build against a
|
|
|
|
specific node.js version (e.g. 5.x): `nix-build -A
|
|
|
|
nodePackages_5_x.<new-or-updated-package>`
|
|
|
|
5. Add, commit, and share your changes!
