 nf | Thanks, that helped me figure out that the references are through symbolic links, which grep doesn't follow by default. | 16:01:40 |

 sterni (he/him) | I finally discovered what breaks HLS on 9.12.3 and its a bug that has been present in Cabal 3.14 all along, but was masked by a bug that has been fixed in Cabal 3.14.2.0 lol https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/11598 | 15:03:54 |

- https://github.com/fourmolu/fourmolu/pull/518
- https://github.com/Bodigrim/cabal-add/pull/10
| 15:22:44 |
| sterni (he/him) | IMO a bad change, though, since it doesn't make sense that build-tool-depends are available at test suite run time. Cabal should have rather added a different mechanism (that has been needed since forever) for this. | 15:23:50 |
 chreekat | You typoed the name of the executable on the report to cabal-add :P (you wrote fourmolu) | 16:11:15 |
 alexfmpe | Oh yay more build-tool-depends annoyances | 18:13:04 |
| alexfmpe | https://github.com/well-typed/haskell-debugger/pull/203 | 18:13:07 |
| alexfmpe | Which quickly got reverted because cabal somehow failed to build cabal | 18:15:21 |

| alexfmpe | I'm truly confused...
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/34f316a97a3e0e69bea9b44cd1142f7e73557437 broke haskell.packages.ghc914.haskell-debugger - reverting the commit fixes it
the reason is that the older hie-bios's bounds do not build with 9.14 boot libs
however, switching back to recent hie-bios in configuration-9.14.nix causes failures in the test suite when building hie-bios???
oddly enough, the older hie-bios does build with jailbreak | 14:52:55 |

the older hie-bios does build with jailbreak, doesn't seem like much changed for 9.14: https://github.com/haskell/hie-bios/commits/master/ | 14:53:23 |
| sterni (he/him) | alexfmpe: you probably lose an override that is otherwise applied to hie-bios | 19:06:52 |
| sterni (he/him) | the order of the overlays matters and it is not always ideal | 19:07:13 |
| alexfmpe | Aaaah yeah could be, I PR'd jailbreak for now since it works | 19:12:42 |

| sterni (he/him) | alexfmpe: probably a regression from 9.12.2 -> 9.12.3, curious | 21:47:51 |
| 13 Mar 2026 |
| alexfmpe | hmm happens for primitive and text-short | 02:16:36 |
| alexfmpe | and 9.14.1 | 04:24:40 |
| alexfmpe | asked in #ghc-js-backend:matrix.org | 04:24:44 |
| sterni (he/him) | okay I figured out why and wrote there | 11:18:36 |
| sterni (he/him) | we could just downgrade the job to ghc9122 until this is resolved, not sure | 11:19:07 |
| alexfmpe | I didn't even know we had 9.12.3 what with the bug | 17:53:50 |
| alexfmpe | We don't have ghc9121 | 17:54:02 |
| sterni (he/him) | well we patched it so | 19:58:44 |
| sterni (he/him) | i thought 9.12.4 was never coming out but rc1 has been uploaded today so | 19:59:07 |
