Node.js packages

To add a package from NPM to nixpkgs:

  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.
