 Alex | In reply to @sportshead:matrix.org
would the best course of action be to overlay and disable all the tests? is there an easy option to make a certain package not run tests? Nowadays, the answer can be found in the nixpkgs manual: https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#haskell-overriding-haskell-packages
In particular, you are looking for haskell.lib.compose.dontCheck and perhaps also how to override packages in the haskell package sets (this part hasn't yet been migrated to the nixpkgs manual). | 01:25:46 |

| not-jack | looked online and saw some non nix-y solutions but was wondering if there is a simple fix | 09:55:23 |
 sterni (he/him) | well you need to make libGL available is what the error tells you. How to do that depends on what exactly you're doing and what you're using which isn't totally clear from what you've stated. | 10:14:19 |
 maralorn | btw. what’s the state of our branch? | 10:18:11 |
| maralorn | Wow, hls broken again?? | 10:20:23 |
| maralorn | Huh, maybe it wasn’t fixed on staging-next and we didn’t notice. | 10:21:00 |
| maralorn | That would be more plausible. | 10:21:08 |
| not-jack | oops, fixed it | 12:12:25 |
| sterni (he/him) | > time git push origin HEAD:refs/heads/haskell-updates

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

 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 |
