[Nix-dev] How to test my service definition without actually "installing" it?

[Matthias Beyer]

(Also send to the list, as you did not reply to the list as well)

But I need to specify my git clone of the repo, right?

And when doing this, my whole system gets rebuild using the
definitions from master, so almost everything.

I guess I can "fix" this by rebasing onto the unstable tracker git
branches, can I?
