@setunset:matrix.orgFreeVariableIs it possible to get ghc 9.10.2 on Nixos unstable?01:28:10
@setunset:matrix.orgFreeVariableThe last packaged versions seems to be 9.8.x01:28:47
@cdepillabout:matrix.orgcdepillabout GHCs are available as haskell.compiler.ghc910*, and the package sets at haskell.packages.ghc910*.lens (or whatever). Although keep in mind that sometimes things don't work with the non-default compiler. 02:46:18

Thanks. But how large is th delta ?How many versions I can expect to be available when they are not yet released to the unstable branch?

I am unsure what you mean. Do you wonder how many less haskell packages build on the non default ghc? Hard to say.
07:22:35
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornBut we have all recent ghc versions packaged including 9.12.07:23:33
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornThey are all "released" in the sense that they exist on nixos-stable. They just are not yet defaults.07:24:42
@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpea lot of packages build with 9.12 out of nixpkgs notably, both HLS and reflex-dom do and they have massive dependency footprints08:15:49
@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpealso, while the compiler is cached, the package set itself isn't, so the first build will be annoying08:16:08

It compiles on x86-linux. Anyone seen this before?

@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterniLooks like https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/23746, but should be fixed in 9.8.4 iirc11:05:12

@setunset:matrix.orgFreeVariableYou should really ask questions like this in the Haskell nixpkgs channel.09:39:48

You should use haskell-language-server from a different haskellPackages

Instead of using top-level haskell-language-server, consider haskell.packages.ghc9102.haskell-language-server

09:42:37
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornNot really09:42:53
@root:sandwitch.devSand Witch

haskellPackages.fourmolu

BTW, fourmolu will not work with a new syntax too

09:43:52
@setunset:matrix.orgFreeVariableI mean, HLS is indeed the 2.11 version as I want. It's just the wrong built (ghc 9.8.4 when I want ghc 9.10.2)09:44:07
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornThe top level hls would also work with the supported versions override, but here you are using the haskell-language-server from haskellPackages which does not have that override09:44:30
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralorn But @root:sandwitch.dev solution also works 09:44:55
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralorn @setunset:matrix.org you might also consider using haskellPackages.shellFor, it e.g. has a hoogle option 09:46:02
@root:sandwitch.devSand Witchs/haskellPackages/haskell.packages.ghc910209:46:55
@root:sandwitch.devSand WitchhaskellPackages correspond to a haskell.packages.ghcXYZ where XYZ is a current stackage LTS, I guess09:48:44
