Make compiler easier to configure
The output of haskell-packages/default.nix at the moment looks something like this:
{ nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
with nixpkgs;
let ...
in callPackage (nixpkgs.path + "/pkgs/development/haskell-modules") {
ghc = pkgs.haskell.compiler.ghc843;
buildHaskellPackages = buildPackages.haskell.packages.ghc843;
...
}
It would be probably nicer if the compiler were another parameter. e.g.:
{ nixpkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, compiler ? "ghc843" }:
with nixpkgs;
let ...
in callPackage (nixpkgs.path + "/pkgs/development/haskell-modules") {
ghc = pkgs.haskell.compiler.${compiler};
buildHaskellPackages = buildPackages.haskell.packages.${compiler};
...
}
That way one could more easily reuse the same expression with newer versions of nixpkgs, in particular one where only ghc844 is available.
