Devbox is currently pinned to a specific commit of the unstable channel of nixpkgs. This ensures that everyone who uses Devbox gets the same packages (ensuring their environments are reproducible), but it limits which versions of different packages are available with Devbox
As a temporary means of addressing this issue, we will allow users to provide a different revision SHA that devbox will use for installing packages. This will let developers pull older or newer versions of packages that may not be available in Devbox's default revision.
To find the revision with the package they want, developers can use tools like https://lazamar.co.uk/nix-versions/?channel=nixpkgs-unstable to find a revision with the package they need.
Long term, we want to provide a way for developers to get the right package by specifying the version of the package they need, similar to what is described in #102
