Haskell broken packages #1

Open c0c0n3 opened 2 years ago

c0c0n3 commented 2 years ago

These two packages are marked as broken in the Nixpkgs (21.11) Haskell set (GHC 8.10.7) we're using in Nixie at the moment:

So when you try building Nixie's Haskell env, Nix moans about them being "marked as broken" and fails the build.

Diagrams-Graphviz I pull in myself, so I commented that out in the Haskell env. But Haddock API is a dep of Haddock, so I had to comment out Haddock in the Haskell env to make the env derivation build. Notice that these guys have a history of being broken

Also keep in mind there's even more broken packages in the GHC 9.2.1 set. To see that, swap out

pkgs.haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages

for

pkgs.haskell.packages.ghc921.ghcWithPackages

in the mkEnv function.

Come up with a solution!
