 Teo (he/him) | That's a good call IMO. There's a pretty annoying in 9.10.2 where GHC will panic if you use a constructor you havent imported but you've imported the synonymous type | 11:41:56 |

wow text 2.1.2 is the gift that keeps on giving Isn't it just? I use T.show now. I had to change around and not use nix for packages and just use hackage because it wasn't in nix for ages | 13:13:36 |
 maralorn | It is a very simple change, yes. But we nix maintainers need to wait for it to propagate through every package in the ecosystem to adopt it. And that is one of the many reasons that we can't deliver the deployment speed that you apparently expect. | 13:57:51 |
 Pierre Thierry | Damnit, all this time, I hadn't see that someone had already added an example of how to add build tools with developPackages… It wasn't there the first time I read that page and I didn't spot the addition. | 15:05:13 |
| Pierre Thierry | I'm using direnv-nix and if I put developPackage in my default.nix, nix-build will put the environment in result instead of building the package, is there a way to use developPackage with nix-build within direnv-nix? | 15:15:25 |

I'm using direnv-nix and if I put developPackage in my default.nix, nix-build will put the environment in result instead of building the package, is there a way to use developPackage with nix-build within direnv-nix? I'm not sure about what exactly the tool is doing but I suspect that either shell.nix (file preferred by nix-shell) or inNixShell (option automatically enabled by nix-shell) can solve your problem. | 15:22:19 |
