|
|
|
1. Modify `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages.json`, to add, update,
|
|
|
|
|
or remove package entries. (or `pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages-v4.json`
|
|
|
|
|
for packagages depending on node.js 4.x)
|
|
|
|
|
2. Run the script: `cd pkgs/development/node-packages && sh generate.sh`.
|
|
|
|
|
3. 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_4_x.<new-or-updated-package>`
|
|
|
|
|
4. Add and commit all modified and generated files.
