 lambdatheultimatealias | I have a package that depends on amazonka-core which is broken on haskell-updates now. I know cachix has the same problem. Do I need to do anything? Is there a plan for amazonka-core? | 14:15:27 |
 Collin Arnett | Yeah I guess that makes sense. I think it would be really cool if Nix was more like a library I could call rather than wrapping everything in Nix. | 14:56:12 |
 maralorn | Collin Arnett: I hear that a lot. | 15:11:15 |
 sterni (he/him) | lambdatheultimatealias: there are no concrete plans, no. We'd appreciate if someone could look into amazonka. | 15:35:47 |
| lambdatheultimatealias | sterni: Ok. It appears somebody else got there first. I don't know if it built yet. Hopefully this does the trick!

| lambdatheultimatealias | Here's a more helpful link. It looks like there's a PR to be reviewed already: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/376564 | 20:10:36 |
 hellwolf | nix-shell$ ghc-pkg list --global

How do you get that /nix/store/qj54vnsx6nk18nmy8r21w7src01hbq2g-ghc-9.10.1/lib/ghc-9.10.1/lib/package.conf.d path programatically?
| 21:56:10 |
| hellwolf | $ ghc --print-global-package-db
/nix/store/qj54vnsx6nk18nmy8r21w7src01hbq2g-ghc-9.10.1/lib/ghc-9.10.1/lib/package.conf.d

 chreekat | I've looked at this some more, comparing results on different commits, and I haven't found any reason to think I'm wrong yet | 12:51:51 |
| chreekat | I did see a commit around that time that reverted a stackage bump because all-cabal-hashes apparently wasn't updating? I need to ask more questions about that. But could it have had an effect? | 12:52:55 |

| sterni (he/him) | hm refined github has a feature where you can alt click on the hidden comments thing and it tries to load all of them | 17:06:41 |
| sterni (he/him) | it's still pretty clunky but better than clicking a million times | 17:06:57 |
 Profpatsch | sternenseemann: IT WHAT? | 17:29:29 |
| Profpatsch | TIL | 17:29:35 |
| sterni (he/him) | I’ve installed it now for this purpose only, haskell-updates is unusable without it now with the extra noise GitHub’s lack of base commit updating causes | 17:30:55 |
| Profpatsch | sternenseemann: Ah, refined github | 17:36:13 |
| Profpatsch | I thought vanilla | 17:36:15 |
| sterni (he/him) | hahaha no | 17:36:25 |
| Profpatsch | I noticed again today how much Github has stagnated | 17:37:03 |
| Profpatsch | Things that have been bugs for over a decade now | 17:37:12 |
| Profpatsch | honestly I don’t think it will improve | 17:37:25 |
| Profpatsch | But kinda scary to give a large extension like that access to your github session cookie | 17:37:57 |
| Profpatsch | who knows what it does | 17:38:02 |
| sterni (he/him) | yeah… | 17:38:09 |
| sterni (he/him) | i think on the refined github issue requesting this feature someone posted their user script for this | 17:38:51 |
| hellwolf | Is there anyways to override derivation to produce dwarf output such as https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/9.10.1/ghc-9.10.1-x86_64-fedora33-linux-dwarf.tar.xz ? | 19:31:18 |
