 woobilicious | Also why do we have packages like attoparsec_0_13_2_5 and ansi-wl-pprint_0_6_9 that don't build? and don't seem to be marked as broken. | 06:45:49 |
| woobilicious | I'm starting to regret trying to gather every doc output we have lol | 06:51:19 |
| woobilicious | tryEval isn't catching build failures | 06:53:02 |
 maralorn | But the hoogle DB has the paths to all html files. 😂 | 07:06:17 |
| woobilicious | Lol, the db isn't exactly human readable. | 07:10:34 |
| maralorn | Yeah, fair. | 07:15:07 |
| maralorn | Yet, I think if you need to write code for that taking inspiration from withHoogle might help. | 07:15:53 |
| maralorn | But anyway apparently you already solved it. | 07:16:12 |
| woobilicious | kinda, builtin packages (like bytestring) are missing | 07:16:53 |
 andromeda | I'm calling pkgs.haskell.packages.ghc914.callCabal2nix to build my package. I want to switch to using build-type: Hooks which requires cabal-version: 3.14 in my .cabal file, but when I run the nix build it says Unsupported cabal format version in cabal-version field: 3.14. How can I give it a newer cabal that sees the new version? is that even what I need to do? | 13:45:38 |
| woobilicious | ahh they're in ghc package, but slightly different layout | 07:18:21 |
| woobilicious | Ahh okay I've found where "withHoogle" is implemented | 07:23:07 |

| woobilicious | andromeda: you probably need a version of nixpkgs with the new cabal version. | 01:14:17 |
| woobilicious | you can also try running cabal2nix directly to see if it's a problem with our tooling and not cabal itself. | 01:26:40 |

| iclanzan | I’ve been happily using Haskell for a couple of years through Nix like so:
(pkgs.haskell.packages.ghc910.override {overrides = ...;}).ghcWithPackages(p: [...])
However recently one of my haskell apps started crashing with an exception from time to time. I am hunting for a way to have a call-stack printed for these exceptions. Since I don’t control third party libraries I cannot add HasCallstack to them to be able to debug that way so I have been trying to compile with -prof for the last couple of days with no success.
Does anyone have a working example of how to get this working?
