 chreekat | You should use casa! It also needs an update, but it's the superior, undocumented choice to all-cabal-hashes imo | 12:37:51 |
| chreekat | I'm gonna get it (casa.stackage.org) up to speed next | 12:38:33 |
 sterni | is it documented anywhere? | 13:42:26 |
| sterni | but I do not think we actually need it, the hackage index has everything we need nowadays as long as the index state timestamp is reliable but should be ok | 13:43:03 |
| chreekat | Just a couple old blog posts | 13:44:51 |
| chreekat | Interesting. I did not know you could just go straight to hackage now. I know that casa solved problems when it was developed, the same problems all-cabal-hashes was supposed to solve | 13:50:12 |
 teo (they/he) | I think the issue that all-cabal-hashes solves (for nix) is that you want to map a package name and revision to a cabal file hash at nix eval time, which I don't think you can do with casa without IFD | 14:29:34 |
| chreekat | True, you probably need dynamic drvs in order to follow the chain from a fod that pulls the top of the tree to all the other fods that describe the package source | 15:25:26 |
 maralorn | Dynamic drvs are not allowed on hydra, are they? | 15:27:14 |
| chreekat | I assume not, but at least it's theoretically more pleasing than ifd | 15:36:57 |
| chreekat | So, I will carry on dreaming 😄 | 15:37:30 |
