@bglgwyng:matrix.orgbglgwyngWait for minutes please.08:33:17
@bglgwyng:matrix.orgbglgwyng* Hmm I'm trying haskell.nix now. Actually, I should build my package to bootstrap things, so that how to build it is not important.08:33:34
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornBest explanation I can think of is that there is a dependency chain cabal-install -> X -> hackage-security, where X is a core package distributed with ghc. Then X would not be affected by the overrideScope and thus use the wrong hackage-security. But this is close to where I normally give up …08:34:07
@oak:universumi.fioak 🏳️‍🌈♥️ The maintainer scripts maintainers/scripts/haskell/ seem broken, I get this error with multiple scripts: error: access to absolute path '/home/myusername/.local' is forbidden in restricted mode 13:08:51
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornOverriding core adjacent packages is just a pain and actually the one time where I switched to haskell.nix …08:34:42
@oak:universumi.fioak 🏳️‍🌈♥️ ./maintainers/scripts/haskell/regenerate-hackage-packages.sh --fast goes through, but without --fast I get the above error 13:11:37
@aidalgol:tchncs.deaidalgol set a profile picture.09:21:40
@oak:universumi.fioak 🏳️‍🌈♥️ Same seems to happen with maintainers/scripts/haskell/regenerate-transitive-broken-packages.sh 13:11:56
@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni (he/him)okay I fell down one or two rabbit holes16:03:07
@oak:universumi.fioak 🏳️‍🌈♥️ Actually I think it happens while regenerate-hackage-packages.sh calls regenerate-transitive-broken-packages.sh 13:14:27
@oak:universumi.fioak 🏳️‍🌈♥️ https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/400784 I see there's this issue which was closed by sterni last week, I was able to reproduce it :D I have nix (Nix) 2.28.4 14:08:19
@oak:universumi.fioak 🏳️‍🌈♥️ * https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/400784 I see there's this issue which was opened by sterni which was closed last week, I was able to reproduce it :D I have nix (Nix) 2.28.4. I'm trying to update to 2.28.5 which seems to be the latest on stable 14:11:55
@oak:universumi.fioak 🏳️‍🌈♥️Seems to happen also with Nix version 2.30.2 and 2.30.3, I first saw this on my macOS system and then I switched to NixOS to see it also happening there14:24:34

Anyone recognize this?

@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni (he/him)darwin?21:04:11
@jean-paul.:matrix.orgjean-paul.nope, Linux - but CircleCI21:20:02
@alex:tunstall.xyzAlex
In reply to @jean-paul.:matrix.org
nope, Linux - but CircleCI

Just guessing, but is it because the kernel has IPv6 disabled via sysctl or perhaps even via kconfig?

Nix builds are sensitive to the host kernel.

@teoc:matrix.orgTeo (he/him)I know the nixpkgs build of GHC edits the settings file, so I wanted to give y'all a heads up that the ghc-toolchain line of work is replacing the settings file, so it's likely that you'll need to make some changes here. See: https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/1450013:48:05

@jean-paul.:matrix.orgjean-paul.Seems likely I guess. I don't know how to learn about CircleCI's kernel configuration. Annoyingly, zlib test suite also fails. Seems like that should be less sensitive to the kernel but 🤷14:45:54
@jean-paul.:matrix.orgjean-paul.I assume more folks than me want to use Nix on CircleCI14:46:10
@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni (he/him)Now I'm scared about arithmetic regressions in 9.10.3… https://github.com/Bodigrim/arithmoi/issues/22314:58:30
@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni (he/him)so far nothings else like that happened, though14:59:08
