Horizon Haskell Platform

horizon-haskell.net.

Horizon is a haskell package set targetting new builds of GHC.

Package Set Policy

This package set has the following policy.

  • GHC will advance as often as possible
  • Nonversioned locations (git, unversioned tarballs) are permitted to allow GHC to advance.
  • The following packages must always build:
    • aeson
    • beam-postgres
    • composite-base
    • dhall
    • haskell-language-server
    • hedgehog
    • pandoc
    • persistent-postgresql
    • polysemy
    • servant
    • sydtest
    • tasty
    • xmonad-contrib
    • xmonad
    • wai-app-static
    • warp

Updating the package set

The package set is generated from the horizon.dhall using the following command:

nix run 'git+https://gitlab.horizon-haskell.net/haskell/horizon-gen-nix?ref=refs/tags/0.10.0'

If you need to do additional manual overrides to the nix code, such as addPkgconfigDepends, edit the configuration.nix overlay, which is applied afterwards.

Programmmatic Updates

To use horizon-shell.

nix run 'git+https://gitlab.horizon-haskell.net/shells/horizon-shell?ref=refs/tags/0.0.7'

See the in-shell help for usage.
