the `lhs2tex` tool is a “commonly” used tool in academia to typeset
certain papers, and it would be prudent to have it available outside the
`haskellPackages` namespace, and also made available on the caches.
Also added to release-haskell.nix, and made myself the maintainer.
The xhtml library is only built as part of the GHC build process if GHC
is disabled. This means that no GHC cross compiler has xhtml bundled,
since haddock can't be built if GHC is a cross compiler (see relevant
notes in the GHC nix expressions). This means that all packages
depending on xhtml would currently fail to build when cross-compiled, as
haskellPackages would assume it'd be provided by GHC. This is fixed by
this commit.
pkgsStatic hits this case, so we test compilation of xhtml for these
package sets which will remind us to update the attribute name whenever
its version changes.
* Test the default pkgsStatic.haskellPackages set, as it should be
working properly now.
* Instead of GHC 8.10.7 which hasn't gotten some workarounds applied,
test GHC 9.2.2 additionally which should work as well as GHC 9.0.
* Test building an actual executable, cabal2nix.
* Simplify aggregate job definition.
* Make sure GHC 9.2 lens gets built on Hydra.
By telling Hydra where to look explicitly, it can be instrumented
to build the boot ghcjs which is only about 300MB. This saves at
least some time compiling for users and will also provide some
eval CI automatically.
rustc fails to build on x86_64-darwin on the M1 builders Hydra uses.
Since GHC depends on rustc (sphinx -> cryptography -> GHC), the entire
darwin package set is broken at the moment, cluttering build reports
etc.
Expose from haskell.packages.ghc921 (which is the only GHC version that
can build it easily atm) and additionally install man page, language
guide and code examples.
GHC 9.2.1 has grown beyond being a release candidate for quite some time
now, so let's also adjust the released shortcut in the jobset
definition. ghc-api-compat and haskell-language-server still don't
support 9.2.1, however.
haskell.packages.ghc921.bsb-http-chunked: disable doctest suite
This package's doctest suite is invoked in a weird way apparently which
makes it fail to typecheck with GHC 9.2.1.
mach-o executables we produce in writers are not always fully valid for
some reason. In normal derivation this is fixed in fixupPhase and we can
replicate this behavior here easily.
Resolves#132660.
* 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.
The only big change is required for darwin since GHC 8.10.5 now
runs xattr in the install phase on darwin:
* 11e1dcde0d
* ec451cac39
Unfortunately, it uses the host /usr/bin/xattr by default which is
present in the build due to a lack of sandboxing on darwin. That xattr
version however still requires Python 2.7 whereas Python 3.8 is in PATH
in our build. We solve this by setting the XATTR environment variable.
We can't use python3Packages.xattr since GHC expects Apple's fork of
xattr which provides some extra flags to utilize.
