@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyisn't that because GMP or whatever was removed upstream?16:11:14
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily ah, no, that was integer-simple 16:11:52
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily9.10.3 looks there to me https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-25.11/pkgs/top-level/haskell-packages.nix16:12:02
@magthe:tchncs.deMagnusI don't see it at https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=25.11&query=ghc91016:16:51
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily it's just being deduplicated with haskell.compiler.ghc910 pretty sure. search is weird. 16:18:03
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilythe minor version attributes aren't very supported AIUI16:18:10
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyer, the patch version ones that is16:18:14
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily you should say ghc910 rather than ghc9103 16:18:22
@magthe:tchncs.deMagnusIt's just than when doing overrides it's really nice to specify the exact version. Especially when we've in the past have been using several different minor versions in different projects that all share a common overlay.16:20:38
@magthe:tchncs.deMagnus Very strange... I seem to have gotten a broken hash or something, because a 2nd nix flake update updated the hash again... and now 9.10.3 is there. I guess it was a blip. Very strange. 16:23:18

@noiobeforebedtime:winesj.comJack​Hi everyone. Thanks for all the work you do. Is there a nice way to force GHC to use the llvm backend in a similar way to pkgs.pkgsLLVM? I've noticed that if you dig in in the repl at `nixpkgs#haskell.compliler.ghc914.llvmPackages' it has what looks like a set "-fllvm"-satisfying dependencies.19:12:09
@noiobeforebedtime:winesj.comJack​

In short, I'm trying to override and use "-fllvm" for all my dependencies but I can't find a better way than:

          monad-par.extraBuildFlags = ["--ghc-options=-fllvm"];
          monad-par.extraPkgconfigDepends = [
          pkgs.llvmPackages_20.clang
          pkgs.llvmPackages_20.libllvm
          ]
          ;

for all of them

@das-g:matrix.orgdas-g changed their display name from das-g to das-g (DECT 7881).13:21:37
@sternenseemann:systemli.orgsterni Jack​: you can use forceLlvmCodegenBackend from the package set you are working with. It should also be possible to apply this globally by overriding mkDerivation 17:53:25
