haskell-nix VS nix-templates

Here's a tutorial on using native dependencies.

Nevermind. I found a really good tutorial: https://github.com/Gabriel439/haskell-nix

Gabriel Gonzalez's haskell-nix is a far more palatable introduction tutorial, then they can make the choice of whether or not to buy into IOHK's haskell.nix ecosystem if it suits their needs.

I found useful this series of articles introducing Nix by using it with Haskell: https://github.com/Gabriel439/haskell-nix

I hope it helps.

} I tried adding vox-hs = vox-hs-in.defaultPackage.${system} `` wherecallCabal2nixis called. This flake is taken from the [Practical Nix Flakes](https://serokell.io/blog/practical-nix-flakes) article which mentions this is where dependency overrides go. I have also trued adding my package as an overlay when definingpkgs`, but couldn't get this to work either. Whats the best method for a haskell flake to depend on another haskell flake? Thanks!

Here's one intro guide to Flakes by Nix's creator Dolstra. Here's another good intro tutorial. Note that that last one also has our answer to wtf legacyPackages is:

This guide is what I use and it works well. Direnv is great and has integration with emacs if that’s your editor.

I've previously just used Stack's Nix support for simple builds; now I'm tyring to get up and running packaging a Haskell application (that uses the C FFI) as a Flake. I'm working from this base (borrowed from https://serokell.io/blog/practical-nix-flakes):

I like the way crate2nix works. I have made a flake template for it here. Sometimes it requires a couple of overrides to fix some misbehaving crates (see https://github.com/balsoft/simple-osd-daemons/blob/master/flake.nix#L29 for an example of such overrides), but otherwise it's fantastic. It doesn't require any hash nonsense, it downloads and builds all the crates separately (unlike naersk or other solutions) so you get all the benefits of Nix (reproducibility and proper caching).
