@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni (he/him)Yeah, it seems the wiring it up is the problem at the moment with cabal(-install) alone, but Nixpkgs has an easier time there.13:47:58
@mangoiv.:matrix.orgMangoIVI see- so the idea is to just have some script that wrap around cabal 13:48:03

In reply to @sternenseemann:systemli.org
I would just start with adding a MicroHs package set built with GHC as we don't have hugs and then just iterate on that; maybe add hugs separately, have a hugs package set (if that even makes sense).

we don't have hugs

All it needs is an older GCC than the Nixpkgs default (or for someone to patch it to work with newer GCC).

@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni (he/him)as long as it's not older than what we have in nixpkgs we can just package that shouldn't be a problem13:48:38
