Re: [Nix-dev] mention-bot for nixpkgs?

The Homu model looks quite interesting. If homu would trigger a hydra build and only push to master after the build succeeds, I believe that it would simplify a lot of things nicely. Master would already have binary caches from the builds so we could use it as the unstable channel. This is quite

Re: [Nix-dev] Publish All of Hackage

Are haskell libraries useful other than at compile time ? Nix doesn't do dependency resolution in regards to version matching and I don't think that we will ever have a unified hackage where all the latest versions work together. Tools like cabal2nix seem essential in that regard. If we where to

Did you check your environment variables ? I suppose that LANG and friends are set to en_US.UTF-8. You could try to add the locales packages to your shell.nix or change LANG, LC_ALL to "C". If you don't need Unicode that might be easier. On Thu, 19 Nov 2015 10:44 Yves Parès

Re: [Nix-dev] Providing Debian, Arch etc. packages counterproductive?

What does the deb exactly contain and take care of ? I'm not sure of the boundary between the system package manager and nix. For example once nix is installed I would expect the `nix` binary to be managed by it, but if it's provided by the system package as well then it's possible to have two

Re: [Nix-dev] ghc --enable-multi-instance, the end of cabal hell ?

In my understanding nix already separates different versions of a package into different derivations. Even if cabal supports having multiple versions of a package, at compile time it still has to resolve to a single version. On Sat, 19 Sep 2015 12:31 Miguel Negrão <
