== Testing Package Updates with Nox ==
If you are updating a package's version, you can use [https://github.com/madjar/nox nox] to make sure all packages that depend on the updated package still compile correctly.
First make sure it is available in your shell:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
nix-shell -p nox
</syntaxhighlight>
You can run nox against uncommited changes to a nixpkgs repository:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cd ~/.nix-defexpr
nox-review wip
</syntaxhighlight>
If you have already commited your changes and created a pull request, you can use the pr command:
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
nox-review pr 5341
</syntaxhighlight>
