 Artem | @aiya:catgirl.cloud: random_1_3_1 is already there (I think because haskellPackages by default include LTS versions and latest versions too) | 04:56:53 |

 MangoIV | hls 2.13.0.0 adds support for ghc 9.14 which would be nice to have because of the haskell debugger. https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/releases/tag/2.13.0.0
is there anything I can do to accelerate having that land? | 08:45:08 |
 magic_rb | the haskell debugger, forgot about that one, cant wait to try it | 12:50:58 |

 teo (they/he) | Would it be worthwhile to add a nix expression that allows one to use ghc nightly bindists with nix? It would basically be the same as the current binary ones but targeting HEAD. I wanted to get your thoughts on this before implementing anything. I basically need to maintain this for head.hackage anyway | 14:01:16 |

 dutchie | is there an easy way to get a git version of a cabal library? I would like to use optics with GHC 9.12 but it needs this commit to pass the tests. | 14:04:26 |
 Morj | Something like this? https://github.com/maurges/re/blob/5f92f51cd437664e961b45cb2e7908e3c1bdadca/default.nix#L6-L13 | 14:17:13 |
| dutchie | that looks plausible, does it work in haskellPackages.mkDerivation as well? | 14:26:07 |
 maralorn | Huh, I have also stumbled over the optics problem. I resolved to use 9.10 instead, but that sucks because of missing hlint support in hls on that ghc. | 14:29:47 |
| Morj | I like how developPackage is only documented on the wiki, and mkDerivation is only documented in the nixpkgs manual | 14:33:01 |
| Morj | With mkDerivation can't you just supply the fetchTarball to libraryDepends? | 14:34:31 |
| dutchie | I tried this:
optics = pkgs.haskell.lib.compose.overrideSrc {
src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "well-typed";
repo = "optics";
rev = "9ef04b58176c77b0ef93076196705d21b6bd6824";
hash = "sha256-TOINPPBBmUg1gbqwOX+FrqyFuch2LRX6i5NdEHUtbEY=";
};
} hpkgs.optics;
but it fails:
Running phase: setupCompilerEnvironmentPhase
Build with /nix/store/h9k9g4l9sq4y59jh5hnizhww0ing5a0a-ghc-9.12.2.

| 14:34:34 |
| dutchie | I guess I need to point it at a subdir or something | 14:35:08 |
| dutchie | hmm I can just overrideCabal { doCheck = false; } | 14:44:02 |
| dutchie | or dontCheck actually | 14:53:40 |

| LordMZTE | It seems like GHCJS isn't in nixpkgs. Does anyone know a good way to set it up in a dev shell?
