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.
Although the default ghc used by haskell.nix is ghc 8.6.5 many of
the tools used in haskell.nix are still built with the boot compiler
ghc 8.4.4. These include
* haskell-nix.cabal-install
* haskell-nix.alex
* haskell-nix.happy
This change updates those to ghc 8.6.5 and includes materializations
for the new versions.
When cabal-install is built it is careful to disable materialization
checks on the version of itself used during the build to avoid
infinite recursion.
There was a version of nix-tools built with the boot ghc which was
only used when `checkMaterialization = true`. It was used for
the boot versions of alex, happy and hscolour. These have been update
to use the default (ghc 8.6.5) version of nix-tools and
checkMaterialization is forced off when they are being used to build
ghc. This means the materialization will only be checked for these
when they are built independently (they are included in the test set
via haskellNixRoots).
Three new arguments are added to `default.nix`:
* `defaultCompilerNixName` if not specified "ghc865" is used
* `checkMaterialization` makes it easier to switch on materialization checks
* `system` defaults to `builtins.currentSystem`
This change also moves the work needed for hydra eval to the eval
system using a new `evalPackages` feature. This includes:
* Fetching from git with `fetchgit`
* Building scripts with `runCommand` and `writeTextFile`
* `git ls-files` in `cleanGit`
* running `cabal v2-configure`
* copying materialized files (we are not sure why this is necessary but
if we do not `cp -r` the files nix will not load them on hydra)
Reduce size of `make-config-files.nix` strings by around 80%.
These are unlikely to be the cause of hydra eval time memory
issues in the GB range, but were still quite large (around 10MB for the
`cabal-simple` test case).
There was issue causing excessive builds of the `git` package when
cross compiling. Gory details are a comment in `lib/defaults.nix`
but in short if you use `git` you need an extra `.buildPackages`
one is not enough because it depends on `gdb` and that will
be different in `buildPackages` compared to
`buildPackages.buildPackages`.
Adds missing materialization files for ghc 8.4.4 (only needed
when `checkMaterialization` is on because of other
materialiazations, but good to have).
* Revert "Update Hackage and Stackage"
This reverts commit 566d63bc01.
* Fix file missed hackage-db.nix update
* Remove `*` from message in case it confuses others
Copying with `*` leaves out `.plan.nix`
* Remove unused (and broken) test files
* Make default.nix expose pinned nixpkgs
Also make `nixpkgs/default.nix` just an attribute set of sources.
This is simpler, and consistent with what e.g. `niv` does.
* Add backwards compatibility shim, and version argument to allow evolution in future
* Fix some missed things
* Fix and improve quickstart
* Add ghc 8.8.1 to the supported compilers
The `overlays/ghc.nix` overrides were not applied to the `ghc` used
to by the `exactDeps` and `envDeps` `passthru` derivations. This
resulted in each ghc building twice with only one of them being cached
by hydra.
This change fixes this by moving the exactDeps and envDeps for ghc
into sub directories of the output of the ghc derivation itself.

Because we `meta.platforms` was not set in `nix-tools/default.nix` we
were not testing or caching `nix-tools` for macOS. As a result
we missed that there was a need for the ranlib fix on `macOS`.
This enables hydra builds of nix-tools on all platforms and fixes
the resulting issue with `ranlib` in the `old-ghc-nix` version
of ghc 8.4.4.
Also enables hydra builds of the plan-nix to make sure dependencies
of plan-nix are cached for darwin. And fixes the default `nix-tools`
arg for `hackageTarball`.
* cleanSourceHaskell: Add more filters
* cleanSourceHaskell: Add a "name" parameter, split away the filter
* cleanSourceHaskell: Make it compatible with nixpkgs-19.03
* Adjust usage of cleanSourceHaskell in nix-tools
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
```

Project flags (from stack.yaml and plan.json) are exported in a modules attribute by stack-to-nix and plan-to-nix, but are not currently used. This change updates `mkStackPkgSet` and `mkCabalProjectPkgSet` so that the modules attribute is used (if present) and includes tests to check they are.
This commit makes `stdenv.lib.mkOverride` necessary for setting flags in `mkCabalProjectPkgSet` modules, however it also means that you can set them in `cabal.project` instead (see #254).
Uses the `isLocal` for property set by `plan-to-nix` and `stack-to-nix`
on packages where the source is referenced in the `cabal.project`
or `stack.yaml` file.
* Filter components using buildable flag
* Bump nix-tools
* Include components without buildable flag
* Test buildable components are filtered correctly
When trying to build haskell packages from local source using nix (
source code you have used `git clone` to retrieve and have modified)
it is often annoying that small changes can trigger a lot of components
to be built unnecessarily. For instance if you change the code for
a test in a package it will often trigger builds of the library and
all its dependencies.
To avoid this problem we could manually set up `cleanSourceWith` calls
in nix to filter out files that are not need, but to do this every
component would be difficult and error prone.
This change automates this process using the information in the
packages `.cabal` file to filter the source of each component
automatically when using `callCabalPlanToNix` (we should be able to
add it to `callStackToNix` too).
## How does it work?
* A new version on `cleanSourceWith` is used that adds a `subDir`
argument. It allows descending into a subdirectory to compose with
cleaning the source.
* A new `--full` argument is passed to `plan-to-nix` by
`callCabalPlanToNix` telling it to output extra information about
the cabal packages in the plan (directories and filenames).
* `callCabalProjectToNix` uses the new `subDir` argument of
`cleanSourceWith` when setting the packageSrc.
* `comp-builder.nix` and `setup-builder.nix` use a new
`cleanCabalComponent` function to further clean the packageSrc
using the new information in the `package` and `component`.
## hpack wildcards
`package.yaml` files can include wild cards and these are not handled
yet (they do not map to anything in the `.cabal` file and so are lost).
They will need to be added manually to the appropriate field
(eg. `packages.xyz.package.dataFiles`)
If your hpack file does not contain wildcards or if you are willing to
add the wildcards entries manually in nix it is still useful to
enable cleaning on hpack.
For example:
```
packages.ghc-toolkit.package.cleanHpack = true;
packages.ghc-toolkit.components.library.extraSrcFiles = [
"genapply/**/**"
"boot-libs/**/**"
"ghc-libdir/**/**"
];
```
* Use setup-depends from nix-tools output
* Use `-package ghc` when building Setup.hs
* Include --package-db when building Setup
* Fix for tests on case insensitive FS (macOS)
The file `conduit.hs` looks like `Conduit.hs` to ghc and it uses it
by mistake for `import Conduit`.
* Buildkite: Add a test for nix-tools closure size
The limit is a rather generous 500MB.
* nix-tools: Reduce closure size
1. Run justStackExecutables on hpack to remove dependency on ghc and
libraries.
Ideally we would be using the component builder on hpack.
2. Replace nix-prefetch-scripts with nix-prefetch-git. stack.yaml
supports mercurial repositories but I've never seen it used.
* Fix callCabalProjectToNix plans with source repos
* nix-tools: wrap executables to provide dependencies
* cabalProjectToNix needs git for cabal source repos
When resolving source repos the `cabal` executable uses `git` from
the `PATH` (not using nix store reference).
* Use pkgs.fetchurl to build a fixed output derivation
This should hopefully get us around the restricted limitations.
* Adds asserts
* Fix index-state-hashes file
* Fix index-state-hashes
Also adds a regeneration tool:
```
nix build -f ./. generateHackageIndexStateHashes
cp result lib/index-state-hashes.nix
```
* Fix off-by-one
* better errors
Currently if you override nix-tools using `-I nix-tools` to point to
a local directory that has build output directories like `dist-newstyle`
those directories are hashed and copied to the nix store if they have
changes. This change adds the `cleanHaskellSource` function from
`iohk-nix` and runs it on nix-tools.
