* haskell.packages.ghc884.ghc-api-compat needed us to re-add the 8.6
version of the package.
* haskell.packages.ghc901.ghc-api-compat now points to the newly
released 9.0.1 version of the package.
* haskell.packages.ghc8107.ghc-api-compat now correctly points to
ghc-api-compat 8.10.7.
GHC 9.2.1 is still unsupported (which is to be expected, with it
being a release candidate).
To make sure everything stays working we'll build ghc-api-compat as part
of versionedCompilerJobs.
ats-format has a custom Setup.hs which does the following using cli-setup:
* Add ~/.local/share/man to $MANPATH by editing shell configurations in $HOME.
* Install a man page into ~/.local/share
* Install a shell completion by editing shell configurations in $HOME.
We had a workaround to keep this from failing the build in the nix sandbox, but
this seemingly broke on darwin. To fix this once and forall, we force the use
of only `defaultMain` in Setup.hs and install the man page manually.
Additionally we generate completions and remove unnecessary extra references
from the closure.
We employ a workaround for a GHC bug [1] which has been adopted by both
Debian and Fedora for a eerily similar problem on ppc64le. Hopefully
this fixes our aarch64 issue as well (untested so far). -O0 is not
ideal, but compilation with -fllvm fails when linking (due to an
invalid relocation and passing -fPIC wasn't enough to fix it), so
we're stuck with this for now.

Test suite depends on an old version of base16-bytestring (but has not
set up constraints for it). Can't be bothered to add an old version of
it, let's just disable the test suite for now. This should fix itself
sooner or later.
* no released version of hackage2nix does support distribution-nixpkgs yet.
* hackage-db 2.1.2 fixes an annoying bug introduced in 2.1.1 and also supports
Cabal 3.4: https://github.com/NixOS/cabal2nix/issues/501
1.1.0.0 brings us compatibility with opaleye >= 7.3.0.0, so we can get
rid of the old version as well. tmp-postgres was incorrectly marked as
broken (maybe due to a flaky failure) and can be unmarked.
hnix needs these versions since 0.13, but we previously patched it to
use the versions tracked in stackage because that reduces the risk of
multiple versions of a package being propagated in the dependency tree
and breaking a build.
One major release later, patching hnix has become quite cumbersome, so
we'll bite the bullet for now and return to this approach if any
problems come up.
The source tarball now has DOS line endings for some reason, requiring
the use of dos2unix. Also needs a jailbreak since the template-haskell
bound has become too strict.
Upstream introduced too strict lower bounds in a new release. Since it's
too much hassle to create a new account in their redmine just for this
issue, I've used asserts to indicate when this will be able to be
removed.
