Hello there, while having a conversation with my coincidentally named counterpart (i remember that), I discovered that haskell packages set has a at least a few packages that we should really not ship, as they has been removed after a report on the [https://github.com/haskell-infra/hackage-trustees/issues/132](hackage-trustees ' Spam/fraudulent issue)

While both examples sigmaSquadron gave me are marked as broken, this is due to dependency mismatch, not that the source is gone, because we have it cached.

{
  pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> { },
}:
pkgs.haskellPackages.shellFor {
  name = "AoC";
  packages = h: [
    h.extra
    h.matrix
  ];
  nativeBuildInputs = [
    # Python
    # ...
    # Rust

    # Haskell

}

i'm trying to build simple liquidhaskell app (https://github.com/ulysses4ever/liquid-haskell-demo) with

# default.nix
(pkgs.haskellPackages.callCabal2nix "liquid-haskell-app" ./liquid-haskell-app {}).overrideAttrs (old: {
  nativeBuildInputs = (old.nativeBuildInputs or []) ++ [ pkgs.z3 ];
})

when I run nix-build I see that the builder runs haddock, which conflicts with liquid haskell (). I tried adding doHaddock = false; in the overrideAttrs but that didn't change a thing. What am I missing to turn off Haddock?

In reply to @sternenseemann:systemli.org
ners: it would already be helpful if you could open an issue for the problem and obtain the contents of config.log (written by autoconf). You can get that by building witih --keep-failed.

sterni: i tried

pkgs.haskell.lib.overrideCabal (pkgs.haskellPackages.callCabal2nix "liquid-haskell-app" ./liquid-haskell-app {}) (old: {
  nativeBuildInputs = (old.nativeBuildInputs or []) ++ [ pkgs.z3 ];
  doHaddock = false;
})

but that fails with a type error:

  error: function 'anonymous lambda' called with unexpected argument 'nativeBuildInputs'
