How to user personal package in the config?

Hi,
I'm trying to add some packages that haven't been added to nixpkgs. But I couldn't figure out the way to use the defined packages in the config.
Basically, I create a new stdenv.mkDerivation under ./pakcages/<new-package>.nix. But when I try to use that package in the config, it couldn't find it.

Ah, nice, it works!
Is there any recommended source that teaches ppl how to debug personal nix build? So far, I only find things like builtins.trace and lib.traceSeq, and they are little hard to use because we have to put them in a = statement.
Otherwise, it will raise error like this
