update ipython-kernel, ghc-parser, ihaskell to latest versions #60825

Closed vaibhavsagar closed 5 years ago

vaibhavsagar commented 5 years ago

Issue description

What's the process for including the latest ghc-parser, ipython-kernel, and ihaskell in hackage-packages.nix? AFAICT it involves editing configuration-hackage2nix.yaml but I'm not sure what edits to make. They're included in the latest Stackage nightly resolvers if that helps.

Steps to reproduce

Technical details

Please run nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m" and paste the results.

hi @vaibhavsagar there is nothing to do apart from pushing them on hackage. There is a regular automatic update from hackage (every day ?) available at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/haskell-updates . Otherwise you should read the readme of cabal2nix. I've recently experimented a bit with this so https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/62105 may help you

@vaibhavsagar, the latest version of every Hackage package is in haskell-packages.nix. If these packages you've mentioned are in Stackage Nightly, then we have them. If think that a specific version of any of those packages is missing, then please make sure to include that information in your bug report.

Looking at ghc-parser as an example, the latest version is 0.2.0.3 -- and that is the version Nixpkgs master has, too. I notice that ghc-parser is marked "broken", though. Apparently, the build in Nixpkgs did not succeed?

Any news on this? Checking the last example from @peti, it seems like ghc-parser installs fine and likewise, is no longer marked as broken. Came across ihaskell recently and I'd love to see it fixed on nixpkgs.

Edit: Looks like various ihaskell libraries (ihaskell-blaze, ihaskell-charts, etc) are ~broken~ do not build on GHC 8.6.5, as is mentioned here.

triage: @vaibhavsagar is this still a problem?

No longer an issue, thanks for your help!
