| sterni | alexfmpe: probably a regression from 9.12.2 -> 9.12.3, curious | 21:47:51 |
| 13 Mar 2026 |
 alexfmpe | hmm happens for primitive and text-short | 02:16:36 |
| alexfmpe | and 9.14.1 | 04:24:40 |
| alexfmpe | asked in #ghc-js-backend:matrix.org | 04:24:44 |
| sterni | okay I figured out why and wrote there | 11:18:36 |
| sterni | we could just downgrade the job to ghc9122 until this is resolved, not sure | 11:19:07 |
| alexfmpe | I didn't even know we had 9.12.3 what with the bug | 17:53:50 |
| alexfmpe | We don't have ghc9121 | 17:54:02 |
| sterni | well we patched it so | 19:58:44 |
| sterni | i thought 9.12.4 was never coming out but rc1 has been uploaded today so | 19:59:07 |
 ijouw | I have multiple haskellPackages.developPackage projects i develop infrequently (it's ok if build fails sometimes) using cabal.
I use import <nixpkgs> {} because i do not want to manually set versions for their ghc toolchain, and have them all use the same compiler (they should update using a centrally defined value ; i used ghcup before and it installed 200gb of ghc and libs in a year). I now want to test a newer version of ghc (i want to test the haskell debugger project) but my stable nixpkgs only has ghcHEAD with version >= 9.14 (but which appears to be not yet supported by cabal (or is the cabal in my ghcHEAD an old one?)). Is there a way to have similar behavior?
I was thinking of copying haskell.packages.ghc___ from unstable into my local nixpkgs or pinning unstable in a central haskell project that i need to pull from manually. Any advice is welcome. | 23:11:58 |
