These packages are not really used by anything anymore (except dovetail
which has not been working (ever?)). As they now choke on the
base-compat version we ship, we'll mark them as broken.
purescript now requires at least GHC 9.2 to be built due to the use of
OverloadedRecordDot. Consequently `haskellPackages.purescript` is marked
as broken. After eliminating the test dependency on the broken
utf8-light in language-javascript_0_7_0_0 we can build and test
purescript in the 9.2.4 package set.
This change introduces some actual overrides in
configuration-ghc-9.4.x.nix (based on the ones for 9.2) with the aim of
getting a basic 9.4 package set up. In particular the following
“interesting” packages are working:
* hpack
* hoogle
* cabal2nix
* cabal-install
You can get a better overview by looking at the overrides and the
versionedCompilerJobs in release-haskell.nix. Next obvious steps would
be working towards basic HLS support, but it seems that basically none
of the plugins are working so far. Big blockers here:
* https://github.com/alanz/ghc-exactprint/issues/114
* https://github.com/ndmitchell/hlint/issues/1413
* https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/issues/3190
We ourselves have some churn to take care of and should try to release
the changes in https://github.com/NixOS/cabal2nix/pull/571 soon.

GHC's cross build flavours disable the terminfo package, so it will
never be included if we are cross-compiling – setting it to null thus
breaks all builds depending on the package.
To fix this problem, we use the versioned attribute generated by
hackage2nix, just like we do for xhtml.
Closes#182785.
Although purescript-{cst,ast} don't depend on purescript, it's important
that they use the same dependencies as the latter, so packages that
depend on more than one of them at the same time work, like e.g.
purenix (which is broken at the moment because it doesn't support
purescript 0.15).
After a dependency got unbroken recently, only a patch for LTS 18 which
is now part of the release needed cleaning up and aeson 1.5.* and
corresponding bower-json version to be provided.
the `lhs2tex` tool is a “commonly” used tool in academia to typeset
certain papers, and it would be prudent to have it available outside the
`haskellPackages` namespace, and also made available on the caches.
Also added to release-haskell.nix, and made myself the maintainer.
The xhtml library is only built as part of the GHC build process if GHC
is disabled. This means that no GHC cross compiler has xhtml bundled,
since haddock can't be built if GHC is a cross compiler (see relevant
notes in the GHC nix expressions). This means that all packages
depending on xhtml would currently fail to build when cross-compiled, as
haskellPackages would assume it'd be provided by GHC. This is fixed by
this commit.
pkgsStatic hits this case, so we test compilation of xhtml for these
package sets which will remind us to update the attribute name whenever
its version changes.
* Test the default pkgsStatic.haskellPackages set, as it should be
working properly now.
* Instead of GHC 8.10.7 which hasn't gotten some workarounds applied,
test GHC 9.2.2 additionally which should work as well as GHC 9.0.
* Test building an actual executable, cabal2nix.
* Simplify aggregate job definition.
* Make sure GHC 9.2 lens gets built on Hydra.
By telling Hydra where to look explicitly, it can be instrumented
to build the boot ghcjs which is only about 300MB. This saves at
least some time compiling for users and will also provide some
eval CI automatically.
