[Nix-dev] How to test my service definition without actually installing it?
Hi, I'm currently working on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/7771 (taskwarrior-server service definition for nixos) How to test my service definition without installing it aka. without polluting my boot manager with boot entries? How to install it without rebuilding my complete system because of the switch from the nixos-unstable channel to the master branch channel. Or am I getting something wrong with the last sentence? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Kind regards, Matthias Beyer Proudly sent with mutt.

I actually wanted to write it for a long time, but I had my taskd server on a debian machine running and it just worked, so I didn't need it.
