@maralorn:maralorn.demaralorn* ~~Or is that haskellPackages.cabal2nix-unwrapped?~~14:48:48
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornAre you applying your haskellPackages override to a nixpkgs?14:49:12
@manuelbaerenz:matrix.orgManuel BärenzYes14:49:21
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornWell then this makes sense.14:49:30
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornpkgs.cabal2nix-unwrapped references pkgs.haskellPackages. So if you override pkgs.haskellPackages that will affect cabal2nix.14:50:03
@manuelbaerenz:matrix.orgManuel BärenzI tried not doing that, but then my package didn't appear at all in the package set14:50:06
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornNot sure what you mean by that.14:50:28
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralorn sterni: Do you think it could be possible for us to handle bootpackages differently? i.e. could we maybe not compile most of the bootpackages in the ghc derivation or compile them but delete them from the ghc-pkg db and instead not null them in our configuration-*.nix files? 15:38:16
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornOf course that won’t work for template-haskell, base, ghc-prim and a few more.15:40:28
@augyg:matrix.orglazyLambdaonly thing that came up there was from beam-core15:47:21
@augyg:matrix.orglazyLambdaI did do an override of beam-core in my projects default.nix but I was more so confused on why the module Rhyolite.Account had a beam type. 15:48:35
@augyg:matrix.orglazyLambdaWas able to resolve btw15:48:48
@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpeFWIW, I'm already using 9.6 and multi repl for dev with a package set directly from nixpkgs (not obelisk->reflex-platform->nixpkgs) instead of ob, and 8.10 only for prod builds15:51:25
@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpeMostly for the sake of a reliable recent HLS15:51:51
@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpeYou can also get older HLS (with a more brittle multi repl) with enough overrides https://discourse.haskell.org/t/recommended-way-of-using-hls-with-reflex-platform-obelisk/9933/615:54:46
@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpeAt any rate, I'd expect 2 months or so for obeliskverse to be on at least 9.10 and post-ghcjs world15:55:40
@hellwolf:matrix.orghellwolfI wonder, with the current haskell-updates, what chances I have to jailBreak haskell.packages.ghc910.hlint_3_8 ...19:04:19
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornAs always I have to ask: Why built hlint with ghc910? hlint will work perfectly fine when compiled with older ghcs. If you need support for new syntax the relevant version is that of ghc-lib-parser.20:31:58
@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni (he/him) maralorn: could be interesting how far you can get with this, but I suspect it's difficult. It is certainly not intended and I assume you need to build all libs for ghc or some program that is shipped with ghc 20:35:25
