Hey all. Fairly new to nix and first time posting! I’ve been using nix-darwin + home-manager for a little while to manage my system. I’ve ran into an issue where the beets package was updated in nixpkgs and is no longer supported. See `tensoflow-bin: unsupported configuration: x86_64-darwin_312` / `beets-2.0.0` evaluation error · Issue #356030 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub) and:
nix-shell -p beets
error:

I’ve set nixpkgs.url to unstable. How can I use the nixpkgs-24.05-darwin nixpkgs for only a single package so that I can set the beets package to use this version? Slimmed down + anonymised version of my nix config below:
