@hyperfekt apologies about the delay, I was pretty busy! You mean that snack should read `$HIE_BIOS_OUTPUT` and write all options given to GHC? You mean build options, correct? I'm guessing...

Looks like I missed the notification! There are some Nix-performance related issues with snack, it stresses the evaluator a lot. I looked into it a few times but it's very...

Thanks for reporting! Can you share your config files?

Hey @patrickmn , could you give [this branch](https://github.com/nmattia/snack/tree/nm-fast) a try? If you use [niv](https://github.com/nmattia/niv) should be as simple as `niv update snack -b nm-fast`. It should fix some of the...

`writeScriptBin` is fairly straightforward: it simply wraps `writeText`. The following: ``` nix writeScriptBin “foo” “bar” ``` will write `bar` to `$out/bin/foo` and make `foo` executable. The documentation for `makeWrapper` is...

One of the goals of snack is to allow the user to run `nix-build` and everything should work. If we push some of the logic to haskell that means that,...

Last time I talked to @regnat he mentioned it wasn't looking really good. However @jwiegley mentioned there's a rudimentary type system in https://github.com/haskell-nix/hnix, so that could work.

mh, this isn't good. According to the [doc](https://github.com/pcapriotti/optparse-applicative#arguments): > However, parsers always accept a special argument: --. When a -- is found on the command line, all the following words...

It's not "normal" but at the moment it's (unfortunately) kind of expected. There are some performance issues. See these tickets: * https://github.com/nmattia/snack/issues/79 * https://github.com/nmattia/snack/issues/143 I know @zimbatm and @NinjaTrappeur have...

indeed, that's a problem! I've never hit that because I don't use channels. I'll look into to see what exactly is used as the key. Probably the derivation name?
