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.
Patch sent to upstream via email, but the package hasn't been updated in
ten years.
Changes:
- IO.seek should now return the new offset so I used modifyMVar instead
of modifyMVar_
- mkFileHandle now requires a RawIO instance for Device. Since this was
not the case before and I don't think we need to actually support raw
IO, I used DeriveAnyClass.
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.
Also regenerate hackage-packages.nix so it picks up on the newly added
library and remove the broken flag no haskell.packages.ghc921.regex-rure
which builds fine now (earlier GHC versions bundle incompatible
bytestring versions).
retrie 1.2.0.0 adds support for 9.2, but drops it for all prior
versions. haskell.packages.ghc921.retrie stays at 1.2.0.0.
haskell.packages.ghc921.ghc-exactprint: 0.6.4 -> 1.3.0
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.
This means we only have to update the llvmPackages attribute in one
place now and should prevent situations like with 8.6.5 where different
versions would be used in the package set compared to the compiler
build.
Drop comments in the configuration-ghc-X.Y.x.nix files as well, since
LLVM version isn't tied to the compiler minor version at
all (e. g. 8.10.2 and 8.10.7 have different support ranges).
