@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornAnd honestly I am gonna drop support for pandoc-crossref. 🤣 Probably easy very easy to fix but I haven’t used it in years.07:22:08

@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornOkay, I fixed everything but the gi-soup breakage. Still unclear to me how we can fix that.08:27:40
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornYou were right, I accidentally disabled that by commenting out the reflex-packages overrides.10:13:17

I'm trying to build a statically linked Haskell executable using pkgsStatic. If I'm understanding release-haskell.nix correctly, this derivation and all its deps should be cached: pkgsStatic.haskell.packages.native-bignum.ghc984.hello

I expect it to pull it from cache, but instead it starts building GHC from source. Am I missing something about how we cache things?

18:59:15
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornrelease-haskell.nix applies to haskell-updates. release.nix applies to master.19:02:13
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornDoes that help?^^19:19:38

BTW, ghc 9.6 and higher are broken on pkgsStatic: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/275304

Yes that worked! Thank you. :)

More specifically, the issue
is that any Hadrian-built GHC is broken, iirc

@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

Makes sense. Thanks!

I am getting these compiler errors on aarch64-darwin after upgrading to ghc 9.8.4

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
