 hellwolf | * in fairness, I just confirmed that it is still broken in "master" | 18:41:51 |
 maralorn | Only if someone manually did that. | 18:59:39 |
| hellwolf | for self-documenting purpose, would it make sense to leave a line on top instructing how to do that? | 19:00:23 |
 alexfmpe | well, it can be fixed by a hackage bump
what only happens manually is taking off the 'broken' status | 19:03:31 |
| hellwolf | Fixed a package against the next haskell-updates: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/486009 | 19:39:54 |

 nathan0x28A | How would I go about manually taking off the 'broken' status? | 09:28:36 |
| alexfmpe | In reply to @hellwolf:matrix.org
is pkgs/development/haskell-modules/configuration-hackage2nix/broken.yaml automatically generated? Remove it from this file | 11:32:00 |
| alexfmpe | Assuming it builds locally when you use NIXPKGS_ALLOW_BROKEN=1 or haskell.lib.unmarkBroken | 11:33:37 |
| hellwolf | yes, it builds locally. I will check it out how to update the file, or I will just remove it manually. | 13:01:06 |
| hellwolf | * yes, it builds locally. I will check it out to learn how to update the file, or I will just remove it manually. | 13:01:16 |
| hellwolf | * yes, it builds locally. I will learn how to update the file, or I will just remove it manually. | 13:01:22 |
| hellwolf | * yes, it builds locally on the haskell-updates branch. I will learn how to update the file, or I will just remove it manually. | 13:01:37 |
| maralorn | There is no way to programatically remove a line from that file, that has to happen manually. We only add lines automatically. | 13:14:04 |
| hellwolf | should I create a PR? since I can't push to haskell-updates. | 13:18:53 |
| maralorn | Yes, always! | 13:21:22 |

I've noticed iserv-proxy is getting built for ghcjs even though it's not actually used
is it worth adding a && !isGhcjs to the "should we proxy TH" to save builds of network->iserv-wrapper ? think so | 13:27:16 |
| alexfmpe | I got that change stashed, can PR later today | 13:28:35 |
| alexfmpe | Technically I expect it will also apply to wasm since these are always 'emulated' targets | 13:29:08 |
| alexfmpe | But we'll generalise that bridge when we come to it | 13:29:39 |
| alexfmpe | * Technically I expect it should also apply to wasm since these are always 'emulated' targets | 13:29:51 |
| alexfmpe | * Technically I expect it should also apply to wasm (if/when we get it) since these are always 'emulated' targets | 13:30:32 |
 Teo (he/him) | Is iserv-proxy rather than just plain iserv needed for these? I would've assumed that iserv-proxy isn't very helpful in nix since you can't access the network | 13:40:52 |
| sterni (he/him) | we need to execute it independently from ghc anyways since it needs to run under emulation | 14:52:41 |
| Teo (he/him) | Sure but isn't that just iserv running under an emulator, does it need to go via a network? | 14:55:09 |
| sterni (he/him) | no, but can | 15:03:42 |
| Teo (he/him) | Ah fair enough then | 15:04:20 |

| 15:17:52 |
| sterni (he/him) | teo (they/he): you’ll have to ask alexfmpe why exactly but I assume iserv proxy is something that is proven to work for this use case already | 15:26:57 |
| alexfmpe | well, you can still access localhost (though in darwin you either need to disable sandbox or add a magical attribute to the derivation) | 15:37:30 |
| alexfmpe | it doesn't, and IIUC angerman has plans to make it not do that | 15:38:21 |
