 bglgwyng | I found that 7479392276eede7c7cb89abf1693e8ef9ae5aebd fixed the issue | 05:25:55 |
| bglgwyng | but it's just a stackage snapshot update, so there's a problem in my package override logic. | 05:26:22 |
| bglgwyng | I did 10+ python3, ghc build for 1 day bisecting between 60,000 commits lol | 05:27:01 |
| bglgwyng | https://github.com/bglgwyng/nix-x-cabal/blob/main/modules/cabal-project.nix#L181
I build configured packages and put them into the package db by using ghcWithPackage.
Is is safe way to do it? Do we have a more lower level function to build package db?

I build configured packages in plan.json and put them into the package db by using ghcWithPackage.

 Wolfgang Walther | We had planned to look at Template Haskell in pkgsStatic for this release cycle and I feel that we really shouldn't push this out much further. The gap between pkgsStatic with GHC 9.4 and default with GHC 9.10 is widening now. I think we should discuss how to proceed here first, before deciding on whether we have any blockers or not. | 07:46:43 |
 maralorn | I just tried to run nixpkgs-review unix2dos PR and got 23k builds. I feel like I am holding it wrong. | 08:17:58 |
 Puna | if you're using local evaluation to get the list of rebuilds, try applying this patch: https://github.com/Mic92/nixpkgs-review/commit/558b6d4da3032bb43c396d6042c41681ac2b9408 | 08:22:09 |
 sterni (he/him) | maralorn: sounds about right | 08:23:02 |
| maralorn | Okay. I mean, I don’t think we can realistically hold-up the release so this would be more like setting ourselves a deadline. I have no stakes in pkgsStatic I don’t know much about the current problem and I don’t use it. But if there is a way forward to fix it I would of course like that to happen. | 08:23:52 |
| maralorn | I see. Then I was just … naive. | 08:24:05 |
| maralorn | Would it make more sense then to merge it into haskell-updates to get more visibility whether it breaks any haskell packages? | 08:26:26 |
| sterni (he/him) | We could | 08:26:55 |
| maralorn | btw. what’s up with the nixpkgs-ci bot regularly closing and opening PRs? Seems a bit spamy?^^ | 08:27:07 |
| maralorn | Fixing stuff on staging-next really sucks for review builds … | 08:28:26 |
| Wolfgang Walther | That's whenever you change the base branch of a PR. It's a lot less spammy than the alternatives. | 08:43:28 |
| maralorn | It prevents the mass pings? | 08:45:39 |
