 emily | I thought including the whole tree was kind of the point | 14:43:23 |
 jean-paul. | The kind where someone is just checking a box because someone told them to check a box, I think | 15:02:08 |
| jean-paul. | Another team has to do this for a non-Nix JavaScript project with >3000 transitive dependencies, someone was probably worried about wasting a whole week on this instead of just a morning | 15:03:17 |
 maralorn | I mean I have basically one question: Do we have AGPL in our closure.^^ | 15:04:22 |

 João Moreira | Okay, I was able to do it. If anyone could please review, merge: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/371934 | 21:37:39 |

 KSP Atlas | is there a good way to use the Haskell VSCode extension on NixOS? It seems to depend on GHCup which can't be installed because it depends on a package marked as broken | 14:09:12 |
| KSP Atlas | ill send this in the main haskell room too since i feel it would fit in both | 14:10:05 |
| maralorn | KSP Atlas: That extension is usable without ghcup. Use the manual install option and install HLS via Nix. GHCUP does not offer working binaries for nixos so there is no point in fixing its build. | 14:26:15 |

 Profpatsch | kspatlas: I just use it with haskellPackages and it works just fine | 14:28:44 |
| maralorn | Install hls this way: https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#haskell-language-server | 14:29:20 |
| maralorn | i.e. just install pkgs.haskell-language-server | 14:30:00 |
| Profpatsch | pkgs.mkShell { buildInputs = [ pkgs.cabal-install pkgs.haskell-language-server ] } | 14:30:03 |
| Profpatsch | Then start vscode from within the nix-shell | 14:30:13 |
| maralorn | But I have to say. I just gave it a quick google. That is wildliy underdocumented for nixos. | 14:30:37 |
| maralorn | The docs of the VSCode docs basically do not mention that it works without ghcup. | 14:31:01 |
| Profpatsch | maralorn: mainly cause I wouldn’t expect it to just work :P | 14:31:06 |
| maralorn | * The docs of the VSCode extension basically do not mention that it works without ghcup. | 14:31:10 |
| maralorn | And I wrote a manual section about the minuatiae of picking the right hls but editor config is left as an excercise to the reader. ^^ | 14:32:08 |

maralorn: mainly cause I wouldn’t expect it to just work :P AFAIK none of the other LSP clients try to install HLS themselves when it isn't missing, so if anything VSCode's "recommended" method is strange to me.
I could see someone asking "what if I need a custom-built GHC to [do some extremely niche thing]? ghcup's one doesn't work" | 15:05:08 |

| alexfmpe | Is nice | 16:01:12 |
| alexfmpe | Never used ghcup | 16:02:11 |
