Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to using both nix and cabal so I apologize if the question sounds banal.
<ma9o>
I'm configuring my app as a flake and I need to add another nixpkg (dbmate) to the same package set.
<ma9o>
Specifying the package inside *.cabal as external library works as far as getting the package into the dev shell, but at build time cabal tries to link it to the haskell executable which fails since dbmate it's not a library.
<ma9o>
What is the idiomatic way to accomplish this?
<michaelpj>
ma9o: I'm not sure I understand well enough what you're trying to accomplish. Do I understand that you don't want to modify the build of the haskell package at all, you just want to add another unrelated package into the stuff that's visible in the flake?
<ma9o>
yes, exactly
<michaelpj>
well then, you certainly don't want to mess with the cabal file or anything
<michaelpj>
TBH I don't really know much about flakes, but it sounds like this is primarily a flakes question
<michaelpj>
maybe you should post your flake.nix
<ma9o>
it's very much like the example in the wiki
<ma9o>
but I'll try asking in the nix irc. thanks

mightybyte: do your packages actually depend on them directly?

is it possible to jailbreak a package which has a too strict upper bound ?
