Troubleshooting tmux-yank nix package

The nixos yank tmux plugin package is outdated by a couple of years and i’m looking to update it.

 programs.tmux = {
    enable = true;
    plugins = with pkgs; [
      tmuxPlugins.yank
    ]
}

How would I override this package, allowing me to specify the git ref that this plugin is installed from?

Here is the packages:

github.com

NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/misc/tmux-plugins/default.nix#L717


      
                homepage = "https://github.com/xamut/tmux-weather";
                description = "Shows weather in the status line";
                license = licenses.mit;
                platforms = platforms.unix;
                maintainers = with maintainers; [ jfvillablanca ];
              };
            };
          
          
  yank = mkTmuxPlugin {
              pluginName = "yank";
              version = "unstable-2021-06-20";
              src = fetchFromGitHub {
                owner = "tmux-plugins";
                repo = "tmux-yank";
                rev = "1b1a436e19f095ae8f825243dbe29800a8acd25c";
                sha256 = "hRvkBf+YrWycecnDixAsD4CAHg3KsioomfJ/nLl5Zgs=";
              };
            };
          }

tried something like this?

programs.tmux = {
    enable = true;
    plugins = with pkgs; [
      tmuxPlugins.sensible
      (tmuxPlugins.yank.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: rec {
        src = fetchFromGitHub {
        owner = "tmux-plugins";
        repo = "tmux-yank";
        rev = "new ref";
        sha256 = "new hash";
      }))
  ];
}

The override looks OK from a general point of view, are you saying it’s not working? If it’s not working then you can copy the yank definition to your code because tmuxPlugins exposes mkTmuxPlugin.
