 sterni | ah yeah right that works | 21:12:30 |
 maralorn | Two downsides: 1) updating might get a bit more expensive because it always looks for a fresh snapshot. 2) callHackage can only use versions in the pinned snapshot. | 21:15:14 |
| maralorn | But 2) is not worse than what we do now. | 21:15:38 |
| sterni | it's the same as we do now? | 21:20:40 |
| maralorn | Yes | 21:20:57 |
| maralorn | I just was briefly considering pinning 2 hackage-versions one for the preferred versions and one for generating + callHackage. Then it would be absolutely frictionless to update the one for callHackage, e.g. on stable regularly. | 21:22:19 |

 cdepillabout | Looks like the branch-off has happened! | 02:54:30 |

 joe | my patch made it. Thanks for the speed-merging :D | 03:29:45 |
| sterni | let's just hope upstream hnix doesn't take up an issue with it the next few days | 03:30:13 |
| sterni | but looked like a genuine bug to me as well | 03:30:27 |
| joe | It's already on Hackage! | 03:30:52 |
| sterni | ah, awesome :) should've subscribed to the PR's notifications then | 03:31:10 |
| joe | Also: "I am upstream hnix" (in part of course) | 03:31:20 |
| sterni | I see, wasn't aware. | 03:51:17 |

is peti still doing things? I notice he's no longer a suggested reviewer No, he stepped down a few weeks ago: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/im-retiring-from-haskell-maintenance-in-nixpkgs/12739 | 08:36:08 |
| joe | good for him :) he's earned it! | 08:38:02 |
| maralorn | Huh, that is another solution for the problem we discussed yesterday. I wonder if we can write a convenient helper for that … https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/124099 | 10:38:31 |

| joe | oh, that's nice | 12:12:57 |
| maralorn | cdepillabout: I have ticked of all my build errors on haskell-updates. Most of them were weird false positives. | 12:19:52 |

cdepillabout: I have ticked of all my build errors on haskell-updates. Most of them were weird false positives. Thanks! I'm waiting to do another ping-maintainers, but Hydra just won't finish those darwin builds. There are still about 6700 left. | 12:21:34 |
| maralorn | Yeah, well it’s a time of high activity. | 12:22:30 |
| maralorn | (Doing a whole communication platform switch exactly during branch-off is kinda crazy if you think about it …) | 12:23:10 |
 pennae | but it..worked? :D | 12:24:14 |
 pwmosquito | Hey all, here's a shameless plug for my little skeleton i use for my haskell projects:
https://github.com/pwm/nixkell
I used to copy&paste various nix bits from project to project and one day I decided to package it all up and put it up on gh. Hope some will find it useful. Any feedback/criticism welcome :) | 13:02:26 |
