Haskell/cabal 包的变通方法与 Nix 和 Cabal 的约束？

Question

我最近开始使用 reflex-platform, with some extra configuration similar to what is described in the excellent reflex-project-skeleton 进行开发。

现在我遇到了无法解决的程序包冲突。我使用与 reflex-project-skeleton 相同的 cabal 脚本，它在非交互模式下使用 cabal 命令调用 nix-shell。

如果我尝试

./cabal new-build --allow-newer all

我明白了

these derivations will be built:
  /nix/store/d6ji516i7pry5l6gv18y6hpj9k1bvgg5-heist-1.0.1.0.drv
  /nix/store/zj1clks7mzq8gn91ahhwa3nvpi5rwra9-snap-1.0.0.2.drv

  /nix/store/y3sszsj58f6ad3r06540w0mlr1pncd59-ghc-8.0.2-with-packages.drv

...

Configuring heist-1.0.1.0...
Setup: Encountered missing dependencies:
aeson >=0.6 && <1.2

有问题的包似乎是 snaplet-acid-state，所以我尝试从 nix-shell:

中安装它

cabal install snaplet-acid-state

尝试在 cabal 文件中指定版本约束等，但没有效果。

有线索吗？我什至不确定确切的问题是什么。为什么aeson第一次安装失败，第二次snaplet-acid-state和mtl有冲突？

Answer 1

此 cabal2nix 工作流发生的情况是，基本上依赖项解决程序被迫只考虑 Nixpkgs 提供的包，或者在本例中为 reflex-platform + Nixpkgs。通过取消选择多个版本之一的自由，Cabal 依赖项解决程序被简化为依赖项 checker.

现在，如果版本绑定太严格，你可以考虑 Nixpkgs 中所谓的 'jailbreaking'：从 cabal 文件中删除所有版本绑定。另一个选项是更改包版本。

加布里埃尔·冈萨雷斯 (Gabriel Gonzalez) 撰写了 a good explanation of version management with Nixpkgs' Haskell infrastructure. You may also check out this thread。它有点冗长，但它讨论了非常有用的 callHackage 和 callCabal2nix 函数。
