 eldritchcookie | do i need to rename the package if i pass it as another name like
gi-gtk-hs = pkgs.haskell.lib.markUnbroken (super.gi-gtk-hs.override {
gi-gtk = self.gi-gtk3;
gi-gdk = self.gi-gdk3;
});

| MangoIV | * are you aware that nixpkgs unstable currently shipos incompatible hls and cabal-install versions? | 10:36:18 |

 maralorn | No, wdym? | 10:39:38 |
| MangoIV | maybe that's not correct - I don't know how to interpret certain things - there's an issue about 2.11 being incompatible with 3.16 but as a fix it is recommended to build 2.11 with 3.16 (??)
but in fact, if you open a project that currently doesn't type check, cabal repl barfs you in the face (I do not expect the cradle to invoke cabal repl, fwiw) maybe it's actually an incompatibility between 3.16 and hie-bios? | 10:41:26 |
| MangoIV | I'm not sure | 10:41:29 |
| MangoIV | that can't be it though, hie-bios is up to date in nixpkgs | 10:42:19 |
| MangoIV | I think I know what's going on | 10:44:34 |
| MangoIV | let me check | 10:44:47 |
| MangoIV | jup - the reason is that older nixpkgs versions ship hie-bios which is not of the required version for hls 2.11.0.0 but hls is in fact compatible with both (no version bump) so if you resolve hie-bios to <0.17, hls to 2.11.0.0 and cabal-install 3.16 it will build but it will be broken at runtime. Very cool | 10:57:04 |
| MangoIV | version bumps for breaking changes? I don't think so. | 10:57:20 |
| maralorn | @mangoiv.:matrix.org I am currently too tired to fully grasp that. (Will read again later) But a) can this also happen with hls 2.12? And b) the best fix is to make sure we ship hie-bios >= 0.17? | 15:47:41 |
| maralorn | Huh, after crossreading in the HLS room, this looks like something a distribution should not screw up. I remember reading the compat issue in the cabal release but it didn't occur to me that I would have to look out for it. Damn it | 15:51:28 |
