The existing hello example nix expression shows how to modify
all-packages.nix
to build the package. I more frequently find myself wanting to build a local package without having to modifyall-packages.nix
in order to accomplish that. I couldn't figure it out from reading the manual and had to ask on IRC. It seems like this is probably a common thing, so I thought it would be worth adding to the manual.
