 alexfmpe | we just crossed 7500 building packages, according to https://github.com/cdepillabout/nix-haskell-updates-status | 20:46:17 |
| alexfmpe | hit at same time as another milestone: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/511229 | 20:49:49 |

 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 |

 eldritchcookie | does cabal-install + nix + build-tool-depends work for anyone? can you show me a minimal project that works? for some reason i can't compile my project with cabal-install without using its downloading features if i use a build-tool in build-tool-depends | 21:55:15 |
| Alex | I know for certain that build-tools can be made to work, but not specifically build-tool-depends.
Do any of these examples answer your question? | 22:05:46 |
| eldritchcookie | the one package +preprocessing seems to use build-tool-depends how i want to use it | 22:27:42 |
| eldritchcookie | i can't compile and i get a error similar to the one on my own project, so it is something with my ghc/cabal-install version? | 22:36:55 |
| eldritchcookie | which version of cabal was used to compile this project? | 22:37:24 |
| eldritchcookie | wait this is intended to be compiled only via nix? | 22:39:02 |
 m1-s | Not sure if this is the right place but I am looking for feedback for this cabal2nix PR: https://github.com/NixOS/cabal2nix/pull/717 | 22:39:58 |
| 24 Apr 2026 |
| alexfmpe | it is the right place, though I think maintainer(s) of cabal2nix are currently swamped | 10:23:52 |
| alexfmpe | m1-s: I don't understand what you're going for though | 10:24:13 |
| alexfmpe | you can build packages with multiple libraries just fine, here's an example with a ton of them: https://hackage-content.haskell.org/package/raaz-0.3.11/src/raaz.cabal | 10:25:57 |
| alexfmpe | what you can't currently do, is differentiate between multiple components of the same type | 10:26:16 |
| alexfmpe | seems to me your PR differentiates between main-lib and other-libs, not between all libs | 10:26:42 |
| alexfmpe | somewhat related, ICYMI
https://github.com/NixOS/cabal2nix/pull/709
https://github.com/NixOS/cabal2nix/pull/716 | 10:27:09 |
| alexfmpe | well haskell.nix does allow this, but nixpkgs doesn't yet | 10:28:19 |
| alexfmpe | oh I misread, I see your subLibraryDepends is actually a map | 10:29:18 |
