I used an incorrect date for the version field in my last commit, so now I have
to date this slightly into the future to make sure the new version actually
looks newer to Nix, too.
We don't want to re-compile tinc just to change the GHC environment used for
building, i.e. when running inside of nix-shell. Instead, find "ghc" in $PATH.
I've realized that publishing updates to Hackage is far easier than
publishing updates in Nixpkgs, and since all Hackage updates show up in
Nix automatically I've decided to go back to publishing cabal2nix on
Hackage again.
Unfortunately, this means that I'll have to change the version numbering
scheme to comply with the expectations of the Haskell PVP (which is used
by Stackage), so the new version 2.0 looks like a downgrade to Nix,
which used to have version 20160406. :-(
If in doubt, run "nix-env -u --always" to force the update. I am sorry
about the inconvenience.
I was getting below error:
output path ‘/nix/store/i73iz0id6ap6qg1p6jaqadl053h2cgfz-cabal2nix-9f58996’ should have r:sha256 hash ‘1w5ba7cdanpq4nr8xngk1jsj0p6b17c6ap24ldzggrln216f3f7d’, instead has ‘0vy18gmyrw72m98psz7hz51aqj66b98h1pdv98hf3k1hrdva3ncv’
The generated shell.nix file accepts a string argument called "compiler" that
determines the package set used to instantiate the generated expression. For
example, running "nix-shell --argstr compiler ghc7102" would evaluate the build
inside of "pkgs.haskell.packages.ghc7102". Earlier versions of cabal2nix had the
current default compiler hard-coded in the expression, but after this change this
is no longer the case. When "compiler" remains unspecified, it defaults to
"default", and this value causes evaluation in "pkgs.haskellPackages", which is
the package set most people would like to use by default. That change has to
benefits:
1) Generated expression no longer contain any particular compiler version. The
choice of the default compiler depends on the version of Nixpkgs that's used
to build the expression.
2) When the default compiler is used, overrides configured for the default
package set apply, which was not the case in earlier versions.
