 leona | github currently really struggles with NIxpkgs' size | 21:42:18 |
| sterni | I think pretty okay, but you'll know more after https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1820195 | 21:47:06 |

 Alex | Would any of the haskellPackages maintainers be interested in reviewing/merging this PR to add microhs package sets?

 magic_rb | anyone have any pointers for the cross compiling GHC itself issue? i would like to get some kind of GHC for armv6l if at all possible (would also help the riscv people) | 20:43:05 |

anyone have any pointers for the cross compiling GHC itself issue? i would like to get some kind of GHC for armv6l if at all possible (would also help the riscv people) Start from 9.4. | 20:48:04 |
| Alex | 9.4 can be done cross, >= 9.6 doesn't work (unless upstream fixed it?) | 20:48:28 |

anyone have any pointers for the cross compiling GHC itself issue? i would like to get some kind of GHC for armv6l if at all possible (would also help the riscv people) This repository builds GHC for RISC-V from an older commit of nixpkgs, but it should demonstrate how to do it.
https://github.com/AlexandreTunstall/nixos-riscv | 20:49:57 |
| Alex | In particular, see modules/compilers/ghc.nix | 20:50:40 |
| magic_rb | goddamn armv6l-linux isnt even in the default cross set | 20:52:18 |
| magic_rb | this will almost certainly go horribly, i doubt ghc even support armv6 officially | 20:54:53 |
| Alex | It's possible that they used to but eventually dropped support for it. | 21:04:42 |
| magic_rb | Im currently building llvm, we'll see how much ghc explodes | 21:06:02 |
| magic_rb | Armv6 is ancient and i dont blame anyone for dropping it | 21:06:13 |
| Alex | Oh, I might be confusing it with armv7l | 21:06:33 |
| magic_rb | Armv7l is old but less ancient | 21:06:45 |
| magic_rb | Armv7l actually is still supported by some stuff | 21:06:58 |
| magic_rb | since im already talking about this in this room, anyone know how to conditionally override a package in an overlay when doing cross to a specific platform? I'd like to apply my overlay which cross boots GHC but only when crossing to armv6l-linux obviously | 21:23:55 |

anyone have any pointers for the cross compiling GHC itself issue? i would like to get some kind of GHC for armv6l if at all possible (would also help the riscv people) you could also bootstrap by packaging a ghc built by debian | 21:43:03 |
| Puna | oh wait, v6... only if they have that one ig | 21:44:51 |
| magic_rb | i think itll build, its been building for 26 minutes now | 21:45:21 |
| magic_rb | whether itll be funtional, who knows | 21:45:26 |
| magic_rb | if i want to upcompile to 984 id have to first go through 966 right? i recall something about them using extensions where are at least two minor releases old | 21:50:10 |
