 alexfmpe | oooh they finally did a new release after almost 2 years | 19:27:27 |
| alexfmpe | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/485706 | 19:27:28 |
| alexfmpe | 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 ? | 19:31:21 |

 hellwolf | Checking stuff that I use in haskell-updates now...
First one:
NIXPKGS_ALLOW_BROKEN=1 nix build .#haskellPackages.lhs2tex --impure
, built for me, but it's marked broken in
pkgs/development/haskell-modules/configuration-hackage2nix/broken.yaml: - lhs2tex # failure in job https://hydra.nixos.org/build/307520007 at 2025-09-19
| 18:06:04 |
| hellwolf | is pkgs/development/haskell-modules/configuration-hackage2nix/broken.yaml automatically generated? | 18:06:18 |
| alexfmpe | automatically but not constantly IIRC | 18:31:37 |
| alexfmpe | probably re-generated before merging a LTS bump PR or something | 18:31:57 |
| alexfmpe | or at least newly broken builds are thrown in there | 18:32:26 |
| alexfmpe | * or at least newly broken builds are thrown in there automatically at some point in the branching lifecycle | 18:32:41 |
| alexfmpe | the fix in your case is removing lhs2tex from broken.yaml | 18:32:59 |
| alexfmpe | it won't get back inside unless it gets broken again | 18:33:31 |
| alexfmpe | * it won't automatically get back inside unless it gets broken again | 18:33:40 |
| alexfmpe | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/HACKING.md#mark-broken-packages | 18:34:35 |
| hellwolf | in fairness, I just realized that it's broken in "master" | 18:41:24 |
| hellwolf | I guess this haskell-updates branch will have it fied. | 18:41:32 |
| hellwolf | * I guess this haskell-updates branch will have it fixed. | 18:41:36 |
| 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 |
| 2 Feb 2026 |
| nathan0x28A | How would I go about manually taking off the 'broken' status? | 09:28:36 |
