Peter Simons 6966609104 Drop obsolete ghcjs-8.4.x code. The 8.4.x version of ghcjs hasn't compiled successfully in ages, so I reckon it's unused. The even older code in pkgs/development/compilers/ghcjs is unused entirely; it's not even referenced in Nixpkgs.		2019-09-30 12:48:24 +02:00

New build system for GHCJS 8.2

ghcjs-8.2 reworked the build system, and now comes with its own small package set of dependencies. This involves autogenerating several sources and cabal files, based on a GHC checkout. callCabal2nix is off limits, since we don't like "import from derivation" in nixpkgs. So there is a derivation that builds the nix expression that should be checked in whenever GHCJS is updated.
