== Creating the Derivation for upstream Packaging ==

Packaging is straight forward. We just have to add all the steps we did into a simple derivation file. We call it <code>~~default~~.nix</code> and store it in the checked out nixpkgs repository at <code>pkgs/~~applications~~/~~office~~/master-pdf-editor</code>

Packaging is straight forward. We just have to add all the steps we did into a simple derivation file. We call it <code>package.nix</code> and store it in the checked out nixpkgs repository at <code>pkgs/by-name/ma/master-pdf-editor</code>

The content looks like this:

Line 261:

Because we created a derivation which is meant to be called by callPackage we can build the package now only via:

<code>nix-build -E '((import <nixpkgs> {}).callPackage (import ./~~default~~.nix) { })' --keep-failed --no-out-link</code>

<code>nix-build -E '((import <nixpkgs> {}).callPackage (import ./package.nix) { })' --keep-failed --no-out-link</code>

~~== Add the package to nixpkgs ==~~

~~In order to add this new package to nixpkgs and be able to install it via <code>nix-build -A pkgs.master-pdf-editor</code> you need to add it to <code>pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix</code>:~~
