Two fixes for nix #22

Closed rvl closed 7 years ago

rvl commented 7 years ago

I have a patch almost ready to add Hyper Haskell to the Nix packages collection. But before I submit that to nixpkgs:

  1. There is a small change required to get the csound vdac to work.
  2. I have added a freedesktop.org launcher file which is good for Linux.
  3. After merging this, is it possible to make a new git tag release?

Cheers!

Sorry for the long delay. Thanks!

Does the git tag need a version number, or is a "temporary" tag ok?

rvl commented 7 years ago

Hello @HeinrichApfelmus, no problem, thanks for merging!

The git tag doesn't need to be a version number or match cabal, etc. It could just be called v0.1.0.1-nix. The Nix project prefer tags made by the upstream author rather than bare git revision IDs.

HeinrichApfelmus commented 7 years ago

Ok, so I made a new tag, v0.1.0.2, which mainly bumps the dependencies for the Haskell parts, but also contains your changes.

Excellent, thanks! I'm hoping it will now be as easy to install this on Nix as it is on MacOS X.

HeinrichApfelmus commented 7 years ago

My pleasure! It may also be useful to add a few remarks to the README file on how to install it with Nix.
