[Nix-dev] A suggestion of Nixpkgs contributing workflow - help and opinions needed

[Tomasz Czyż]

I would say it depends on what are you planning to do with your packages.
If you are planning to push them to upstream, that's the good way IMHO.

In the other case I would create custom packages in ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix
(and friends) or custom channel so your packages could be developed
"independently" from nixpkgs (of course you could still use/depend on
nixpkgs)
