This reverts commit dfb0f25484, reversing
changes made to 7f8ff02437. These changes broke
the ghcWithPackages wrapper:
nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (ps: [ps.mtl])" --run "ghc-pkg list mtl"
/nix/store/szz84j5k1dy3jdashis6ws28d8l8zxxb-ghc-8.0.2-with-packages/lib/ghc-8.0.2/package.conf.d
(no packages)
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
It would otherwise result into undefined referenecs for some functions
in the base when using the gold linker:
error: undefined reference to 'sqrt'
Fixes https://github.com/bos/double-conversion/pull/17
Previously ghc option -optl=-lm was used for packages depending on
such functions, but that could result into
fatal error: cannot mix -r with dynamic object /nix/store/7crrmih8c52r8fbnqb933dxrsp44md93-glibc-2.25/lib/libm.so.6
in some situations like profiling builds.
Patch was prepared by Michael Bishop and Niklas Hambüchen.
Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/27584.
The approach taken to add this package was to port over the definitions
currently existing for HEAD, and making the necessesary changes to get
this building.
The Haskell package set associated with this compiler doesn't yet
guarantee that all or most of the packages successfully build with this
new compiler, but that will improve over time after this GHC 8.2.1
is officially released and the ecosystem catches up.
