 sterni (he/him) | in this case updating should help recent versions of nixpkgs build cabal2nix against Cabal 3.14 | 21:21:58 |

 nf | I have a strange situation where building a Haskell package on aarch64-darwin results in more references than expected (as reported by nix-store -q --references), and most of them are not actually present in the output (at least grep -ra doesn't find them). Does this ring a bell for anyone? To reproduce, clone https://github.com/the1lab/1lab and run nix-build -A shakefile. | 15:48:14 |
 Alex | I recall hearing of a much alike issue before.
Have you looked at the output of nix why-depends --all --precise? | 15:52:37 |
| 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 |

| 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 |
