> Does that sound like a reasonable plan? Yes, thanks. This is what I wanted to know, that you want to switch after packages are OK and we're not waiting for a new haskell platform or whatever. I'd prefer this way too, switch as soon as it works reasonably for everything. One more question regarding happy and alex. In the current nixpkgs with ghc763, the default is happy 1.18 and alex 3.0 in the sense that e.g. the pandoc derivation uses these older versions (through haskell-defaults.nix, I guess). This is a bit unfortunate for me, because on the other hand modern GHC (head and 7.8) requires 1.19 and 3.1 to build. May I ask why nixpkgs still prefers to build tools like pandoc with the older happy? Will pandoc not build with the newer 1.19 one, or is this because 1.18 is specified in the current haskell platform? Will this change with 7.8? I guess I could override happy used by pandoc with some nix expression hacking, but then I lose the binary cache, so I don't want to do that either.
