This adds a way to specify the `evalSystem` or `evalPackages` explicitly when calling the `project` functions.
Currently if we want to make a `flake` that supports multiple systems we have few options:
* Require builders for all the supported systems (even just for `nix flake show`).
* Pass `--impure` so that haskell.nix can see `builtins.currentSystem` to set up `pkgs.evalPackages` to use that. Unfortunately this prevents nix from caching some of the work it does and often results in it recalculating for each supported system when it would otherwise be cached and take no time at all.
* Add an overlay to replace `evalPackages`. This works, but it is not straight forward.
* Materialize the nix files for the project.
This change allows `evalSystem = "x86_64-linux";` to be passed telling `haskell.nix` to run `cabal` and `nix-tools` on that system. The user will have to have a builder for that system, but does not need to have builders for the others (unless building outputs for them).
For ghc 9.0.2 Haskell.nix will use the `stm`and `filepath` source that came with `ghc` when the version desired matches. This is because 9.0.2 shipped with packages that differ from the same version in hackage.
`reinstallableLibGhc` is fixed for GHC 8.10 and above. Rather than including a patch file this works by:
* Setting the `subDir` to the `compiler` directory when building. That way relative paths to other parts of the `ghc` source tree (outside the `compiler` directory) still work.
* Files that are needed, but generated when `ghc` builds are added from the `generated` output of the ghc derivation.
`nonReinstallablePkgs` is now sorted and deduplicated before it is used (this reduces the chance of rebuilds when the list is refactored).
With cabal 3 it should be possible to reference a sublib in the
`build-depends` of a `.cabal` file using `package-name:sublib-name`
The `cabal-sublib` test is updated to include the new type syntax
and a fix is included for the component builder.
We will need to update `plan-to-nix` in `nix-tools` as well.
For now the work around is to use a module to add the sublib to
`depends` (see `test/cabal-sublib/default.nix`).
Without this fix the `cabal-sublib:slib` was not found by
`setup configure` because only `--dependency=slib=cabal-sublib-...`
was passed. The fix is to also pass
`--dependency=cabal-sublib:slib=cabal-sublib-...`.
Fixes ghcjs 8.6.5 and 8.8.4.
Uses emscripten for ghcjs 8.8 and adds scripts for building ghcjs 8.8.
Many fixes for ghcjs test failures.
Includes relocatableConfigFiles for making relocatable ghcjs bundles.
Changes to the interface of haskell.nix (from the changelog.md file):
* Removed `sources.nixpkgs-default`, use `sources.nixpkgs` instead.
* Removed `./nixpkgs` directory, use `(import ./. {}).sources`
or `./nix/sources.nix` instead.
* Removes V1 interface for details on how to fix old code see:
https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix/issues/709
* Removed defaultCompilerNixName.
* cabalProject, cabalProject', hackage-project and hackage-package
now require a `compiler-nix-name` argument.
* `haskell-nix.tool` and `.tools` now require a `compiler-nix-name` argument.
New functions `p.tool` and `p.tools` (where p is a project) do not.
Like `shellFor { tools = ... }` they will use the compiler nix name
from the project (including stack projects where it is derived from
the resolver).
* `haskell-nix.alex` and `haskell-nix.happy` have been removed. Use
`p.tool "alex" "3.2.5"` or `shellFor { tools = { alex = "3.2.5"; } }`.
* `haskell-nix.nix-tools` -> `haskell-nix.nix-tools.ghc883` (it includes
the hpack exe now).
* `haskell-nix.cabal-install` ->
`p.tool "cabal" "3.2.0.0"` or `shellFor { tools = { cabal = "3.2.0.0"; } }`
* `haskell-nix.haskellNixRoots` -> `haskell-nix.roots ghc883` or `p.roots`
Other changes:
Adds hpack executable to the nix-tools derivations.
Adds a `cabal-hpack` test to make sure `hpack` works with
`cabalProject`.
Reduces the number of calls to `cabalProject` (particularly when
checking materialization), by giving internal tools a per-compiler
attribute.
Uses happy 1.19.12 when building newer ghc versions.
Updates cabal-install 3.2.0.0 to use the source from github that
is compatible with ghc 8.10.1.
Updates the docs for callCabalProjectToNix.
Adds a license mapping to fix a common warning.
This reverts the reinstallable packages to before PR #261 was merged and
only flags the additional non-reinstallable packages as
non-reinstallable if reinstallableLibGhc is `false`.
The Overlays branch
This is a major reorganization in how haskell.nix is used, and marks our 1.0 release.
The branch doesn't build due to numerous issues that we believe to be with the CI
and not this branch. We expect only very minor adjustments prior to calling this the
official 1.0 release.
* Move iohk-nix patches into haskell.nix
This moves the customizations we did in iohk-nix
into haskell.nix via overlays and config.
Add bootPkgs logic
this moves the nuking of bootPkgs where it belongs. This should eventually still be
removed and replaced by a proper solution, that doesn't require the nuking of
bootPkgs.
Allow us to bootstrap binary ghcs and a cabal-install
With this we can do the following:
```
$ nix repl compiler/old-ghc-nix
nix-repl> :b (let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {}; in with import ./. {}; import ./compiler/bootstrap/cabal-install.nix { inherit (pkgs) fetchurl stdenv zlib; inherit hackage
; ghc = ghc844; src = pkgs.fetchurl { url = "https://github.com/haskell/cabal/archive/Cabal-v3.0.0.0-rc3.tar.gz"; sha256 = "1zl2mgg8307ykq3v8nmafc6zdhhj1cw7w8ffpap16dsm6
5lbnx33"; }; })
```
which wile it may look daunting, will allow us to bootstrap a
cabal-install with a ghc. From that point onwards, we should be able to
build any hackage package via haskell.nix.
Pass through cabal-install version
Better threading of arguments.
Add bootstrap overlay
Allow alex + happy to be built
This still has a wart: we need nix-tools, and for that we use the ghc865 from
nixpkgs. Ideally we'd build nix-tools against a specific ghc, but then
we'd need a build expression for that.
Make ghcjs work
Building something like this:
```
nix build '(with import ./. { nixpkgs = ../nixpkgs; nixpkgsArgs = { crossSystem = { config = "js-unknown-ghcjs"; }; }; }; (haskell-nix.hackage-package { name = "hello"; version = "1.0.0.2"; })).components.exes.hello'
```
will now work. Assuming `nixpkgs` has been appropriately patched to support the `js-unknown-ghcjs` triple.
Also: this will need an additional `Cabal` patch, to make `Cabal` understand what it needs to do with: `dist/build/hello/hello: copyFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)`
It needs to learn that `dist/build/hello/hello.jsexe` is what it wants to copy and that that is a directory. Luckily we do have some code in Cabal already that does this for `.exe` on windows.
Build `js-unknown-ghcjs` packages with haskell.nix
Using the following expression:
```
with import ./. { nixpkgs = ../nixpkgs; nixpkgsArgs = { crossSystem = { config = "js-unknown-ghcjs"; }; }; };
let Cabal = buildPackages.haskell-nix.hackage-package {
name = "Cabal"; version = "2.4.1.0";
modules = [
{ packages.Cabal.patches = [ ./Cabal-install-folder.diff ]; }
];
}; in
(haskell-nix.hackage-package {
name = "hello"; version = "1.0.0.2";
modules = [
({config, ... }:{ packages.hello.package.setup-depends = [ Cabal ]; })
];}).components.exes.hello
```
in a `test.nix` file. And running
```
nix build -f ./test.nix
```
on it, will produce
```

* Better defaults (doExactConfig = true; non-reinstallable lib:ghc)
Disabling haddocks by default has unintended consequences, as such we'll wait for the `.doc` derivation to solve this.
