[Nix-dev] patch: eclipse version 4.6

[Azul]

n00b to the nix community so forgive my ignorance here.
is this the correct way to submit patches to nixpkgs ?
I attempted a PR some time ago which I never managed to get to build
properly on Travis or identify why the Travis build scripts failed the the
build , so I scrapped it all together. Being new to nix and being very
short of time meant I didn't have the opportunity to debug it properly. I
could say I read some sort of contributor guidelines which lead to follow
the usual github PR, test, wait for green and ask for a review but maybe I
just dreamed it up or I was thinking of some other open source project?

so what is the best way to send patches to nix in a sane and safe way that
won't break master ?
