Excerpts from Peter Simons's message of Sat Aug 06 09:45:28 +0200 2011: > I did try hack-nix. I had trouble understanding how it works, though, > and how it's going to scale. Which kind of scaling do you fear? Of course it doesn't scale. That's why I keep it going by limiting the pool of "hackage packages" it knows about. The default is - latest versions - some manually selected versions to keep some packages building
That scales good enough to build everything from yi to darcs or gtk2hs. Well it looks like you're not that interested right now. Whenever that changes and you want to enjoy additional goodies such as having accurate tag files, packaging head versions of haskell packages, switching ghc versions and package configurations (almost) seamlessly [1], give me a chance to explain the details. [1]: true, limiting the pool also limits this feature.
