This reverts commit d13f7c54e30b5eb9e90f226d2a947f66a0ce1b38. ghc802 is no longer in Nixpkgs as of 2f0de54ddbfdb03540128f8d2abcc47221d42b25. The Cabal bug that ghc802 was a workaround for was fixed in Cabal 2.2, though, so this shouldn't be necessary any more. Upstream bugs: https://github.com/peti/jailbreak-cabal/issues/13 https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/4719 Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/51042.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
