Changes​

  • Support for external Hackage repositories was improved by #1370. We can now use an extra package repository just by adding a repository block to the cabal.project file. This makes it easy to make use of an extra hackage databases such as hackage.head and hackage-overlay-ghcjs. A sha256 for the repository it can be added as a comment in the repository block or by including it in the sha256map argument.

  • nix-tools was updated to use the Cabal 3.6.2 and hnix 0.16 nix-tools#113
  • Nixpkgs pins were bumped #1371
  • Update booting on aarch64 linux to ghc 8.8.4 1325 and 1374
