| 2026-01-16 13:53:31 +0100 | <gentauro> | I'm guessing the `build` options https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.18/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-build#options it seems possible to provide `--include` |
| 2026-01-16 13:51:48 +0100 | <gentauro> | anyway, I will read a bit more of -> https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.18/command-ref/new-cli/nix |
| 2026-01-16 13:49:42 +0100 | <gentauro> | Vq: I have cloned a git repo and the `flakes.nix` is in the root of the project. When I state "theirs", I mean "flakes.nix in root of git repo" :) |

| 2026-01-16 13:48:41 +0100 | <Vq> | gentauro: "their" is nixpkgs, no? That one is normal to refer to as an input in your flake. |
| 2026-01-16 13:46:29 +0100 | <gentauro> | Vq: can I make a `flake.nix` and wrap their `flake.nix`? Like inception? |

| 2026-01-16 13:45:55 +0100 | <Vq> | gentauro: Maybe you're getting the environment for building ghc itself? If you define your own mkShell (in a flake) and put ghc810 in its buildInputs it ought to use the same cached version. |

| 2026-01-16 13:39:59 +0100 | <gentauro> | Vq: I can actually build the `flake.nix` package. That said, I would like to be able to tell the `nix build` «Hey, here is ghc8107 cached, please use that instead of building it from scratch". I will keep investigating and probably become wiser |

| 2026-01-16 13:37:00 +0100 | <Vq> | gentauro: If you write your own flake you can define what the default package, shell and dev-shell is. Now I guess you're relying on what happens to be in nixpkgs. |

| 2026-01-16 13:34:33 +0100 | <gentauro> | I'm guessing it's just me who don't know how to "flakes" |
| 2026-01-16 13:34:18 +0100 | <gentauro> | while I'n in `nix shell` with the GHC, I try to do the `nix build …` and point to the flakes.nix and … yeah, it decides to build the ghc8107 anyway |
| 2026-01-16 13:33:44 +0100 | <gentauro> | the `nix shell --exp … flakes` and the GHC compiler actually works |
| 2026-01-16 13:33:25 +0100 | <gentauro> | Vq: Oh, I knew that. That's how I have been doing it up til now. However, projects seem to have moved on to `flakes`. So I'm trying to "learn" how to do stuff like that, but in flakes. |

| 2026-01-16 13:28:26 +0100 | <Vq> | gentauro: That's the old fashioned way to do version pinning. |
| 2026-01-16 13:28:06 +0100 | <Vq> | gentauro: And then invoke it with: nix-shell ghc810_shell.nix |
| 2026-01-16 13:27:50 +0100 | <Vq> | gentauro: Put this in a file with a name like ghc810_shell.nix: with import (builtins.fetchTarball { name = "nixos-25.05-2026-01-16"; url = "https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/archive/ac62194c3917d5f474c1a844b6fd6da2db95077d.tar.gz"; sha256 = "sha256:0v6bd1xk8a2aal83karlvc853x44dg1n4nk08jg3dajqyy0s98np"; }) {}; mkShell { buildInputs = [ haskell.compiler.ghc810 ]; } |
