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).
This change updates to the latest `nix-tools` to get the following fixes (there are 3 PRs in nix-tools, but just the one in haskell.nix to avoid having to update the materialized files multiple times):
## Better support for source repository packages
* https://github.com/input-output-hk/nix-tools/pull/107
Currently these are replaced by the `cabalProject` functions with regular `packages:` before running cabal configure. Cabal does not treat these the same (the setting of `tests:` and `benchmarks:` in the `cabal.project` file):
* The plan found by `cabalProject` may not match the one used when running `cabal`.
* The performance of the solver may not be consistent with running `cabal`.
This change replaces `source-repository-package` with another `source-repository-package` pointing at a minimal git repo.
## Only include planned components
* https://github.com/input-output-hk/nix-tools/pull/108
Only the components in the `plan.json` are now included in the haskell.nix cabal projects. This avoids missing dependencies attempting to build components that were not in the plan. Should fix#993.
## Pick latest packages
* https://github.com/input-output-hk/nix-tools/pull/109
When the same package occurs more than once in a `plan.json` file (perhaps because it is needed both by the project itself and by one of the `setup` dependencies or `build-tool-dependencies` of the project) the latest version will now be the one picked by haskell.nix. This is a work around for a common issue with `cabal-doctest` when cross compiling to windows (an old version of Win32 is used even if a newer one was required by the projects `constraints`).
Fixes:
Warning: `stdenv.lib` is deprecated and will be removed in the next release. Please use `pkgs.lib` instead. For more information see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/108938
* Include `tests` in path for cross compiled tests
* Add ghc-boot-packages-nix to haskellNixRoots
* Fix naming warnings in tests sources
* Uses a single cleanGit call for all the tests
* Add memoize code for ghc-boot and ghc-extra pkgs
* Memoize ghc-boot and ghc-extra pkgs nix
* Fix release.nix being more strict than ci.nix by updating filterAttrsOnlyRecursive in ci-lib.nix
* Nicer errors when materialized path does not exist
* Updated materialization docs
* Add internalHackageIndexState to set the index-state used within haskell.nix
This change replaces `passthru.run` and `collectRunComponents` with
`haskellLib.check` and `$pkg.checks`.
Uses `ln -s` instead of `cp` for DLLs to avoid duplicating them.
Adds features to help debugging eval issues with haskell.nix/release.nix.
The ifdInputLevel can be set to limit the jobs included to control
how much work is done at the eval stage when looking for issues.
Reduce CI times by excluding older ghc versions from haskellNixRoots
(GHC 8.6.3 and 8.6.4)
Sets `preferLocalBuild=false` on `callCabalProjectToNix` and `callStackToNix`
to ensure they are cached on hydra for both Linux and macOS.
Fix `data-dir:` when cleaning components.
`normalizeRelativeDir` adds a slash on to the end of `dataDir`.
Adding another one here results in `//` and files are left out by
mistake.
