[Nix-dev] How do you work on big packages?

[Volth]

"nix-shell" would be a super option here if it could handle
"installPhase" (this seems easy to fix) and .nix files less trivial
than "hello.nix" (this seems not easy to fix; for example "nix-shell
'<nixpkgs>' -A linux_4_4" has no "configurePhase", and there are
similar problems with almost every of the big projects; nix-shell
launches "make" when "nix-build" launches "cmake" or vice-versa, etc)
