| crop | i want to use a tool packaged with cabal. the specification file is too strict to run with current haskel from nixpkgs.
i get the error that a library is not available but it is available just too new.
so i would like to loosen the bounds.
i did this by changing the cabal file and with this the program compiles.
i would prefer to not change the cabal file and loosen the condition somehow differently. is this possible with nix? | 16:51:54 |
| alexfmpe | you can doJailbreak, e.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/608994ab06334b0b4580aa3267a19f91c16bb613/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/configuration-common.nix#L2495 | 18:36:41 |
| alexfmpe | though long-term it's best to PR the cabal file modification to the tool | 18:37:24 |
| alexfmpe | so you won't need to have a doJailbreak around | 18:37:36 |

 chreekat | What is strictDeps? | 10:11:21 |
 Alex | According to the Nixpkgs manual, it enforces that dependencies are declared in the correct attribute, e.g. you can't put things that are needed at build time only in buildInputs. | 11:12:23 |
| Alex | The idea is to make it easier to ensure that more packages can be cross-compiled. | 11:13:18 |
| chreekat | Nice | 13:21:43 |
