 Teo (he/him) | We don't really have a path forward here to use lld be default for Haskell other than to make stdenv use lld, right? | 10:12:45 |

 shapr | I've forgotten how to use hackage libraries that aren't in stackage, is there a guide I can read to remind me how to do all the Haskell things with Nix? | 12:39:52 |

I've forgotten how to use hackage libraries that aren't in stackage, is there a guide I can read to remind me how to do all the Haskell things with Nix? They are just there unless they're really new. | 12:41:11 |
| shapr | I'm trying to use granite which might be really new? | 12:41:42 |
| Alex | In reply to @shapr:cofree.coffee
I'm trying to use granite which might be really new? It's already in nixpkgs unstable (0.3.0.0). | 12:46:28 |
 Peri | What is this some kind of hipster find | 13:28:13 |
| shapr | In reply to @alex:tunstall.xyz
It's already in nixpkgs unstable (0.3.0.0). thank you! | 14:07:12 |
| shapr | Next question, is there an easy way to use granite without running the failing test suite? | 14:23:14 |
| maralorn | Apply haskell.lib.compose.dontCheck to the granite package. | 14:26:13 |

| sterni (he/him) | we can, it's just ugly | 18:20:49 |
| sterni (he/him) | at least we should be able to, I don't know how C++ will behave | 18:21:06 |
| sterni (he/him) | shapr: you can copy what we're doing here which will land in master soon hopefully https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/445213/commits/5ba41f20b22b393092a91ce44e414f70613917db | 18:22:27 |

| sterni (he/him) | On reflection, 1 month + 20 days is at least a big improvement to compared to the 9.8 update, though it felt like it was taking forever this time, too. Excusable at least, given how busy some of us were and that we got unlucky with the text bug in 2.1.2. | 21:35:17 |

 ivy | is there a way to define arbitrary variables in a .cabal file that are maintained in the outputted 2nix | 07:16:05 |
 chreekat | Well I know there are extension fields supported in .cabal files , but I don't know if cabal2nix knows or cares about them. (Extension fields are only documented in one place to my knowledge: https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/stable/file-format-changelog.html#cabal-version-1-1-4) | 10:51:38 |
| sterni (he/him) | In reply to @ivy:faggot.sh
is there a way to define arbitrary variables in a .cabal file that are maintained in the outputted 2nix no. (what for?) | 12:33:02 |
| ivy | okay ill add some and then add to cabal 2nix | 12:35:33 |
