- sdistTarball transforms a normal Haskell build into one that produces a
release tarball by running "sdist". For example:
$ nix-shell -p "haskell.lib.sdistTarball haskellPackages.mtl" --command 'tar tfv $nativeBuildInputs/*tar.gz'
- buildFromSdist transforms a normal Haskell build into one that compiles the
package the an sdist release tarball created by Nix. For example:
$ nix-shell -p "haskell.lib.buildFromSdist haskellPackages.mtl" --command "exit 0"
- buildStrictly transforms a normal Haskell build into one that (a) compiles
the source code with "-Wall -Werror" flags and (b) uses as input a locally
generated sdist release tarball. For example:
$ nix-shell -p "haskell.lib.buildStrictly haskellPackages.mtl" --command "exit 0"
This function is particularly useful for continuous Hydra builds of Haskell
packages.
This makes the attribute (a) consistent with "doCheck" and friends and (b)
avoids the double negation "noHaddock = false" meaning "doHaddock = true".
