### PR tracking
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using `nixp-meta track <pr>` on can see which nixpkgs branches a pull requests has reached, to gauge if updating is worth it yet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Live PR diffs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

If you cannot wait for a PR to be merged, or just want to test it while it's still being worked on, this module is for you.

Then using below module one can alter nixpkgs to use these patches
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
|
inputs,
|
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
}:

|
|
|
|
|
in
|
|
|
|
|
pkgs.stdenvNoCC.mkDerivation {
|
|
|
|
