Hi Nix devs,
If I see a package I want in the nixpkgs GitHub repo but it is not
released yet, what's the best way to install it along side my current
nix packages? I suppose you could download the .nix file, but is there a
better way?
Furthermore, are there ways to keep it up to date? i.e. following the
master branch for a particular package.
In my case I wish to install
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/applications/networking/syncthing/default.nix
Thanks,
Kelong
