Hi Ludovic, >> I'm using emacs and I'd also like to see prerelease versions of 24 in Nix. > > I’ve been using Emacs 24 from [Hydra]. Would it work for you?
that package is not available in Nix -- it's available from only Hydra. Unless I am mistaken, it cannot be installed with "nix-env", and it won't be updated automatically when installed in a profile. Furthermore, Hydra packages don't work at all for people who have a store path other than /nix. I would be very much in favor of simply updating the emacsSnapshot that we have in Nix. For those who need continuously integrated by-the-minute snapshots of Emacs, the Hydra expression is great, but that is not for everyone.
