| 2021-03-03 16:59:37 | <Solid> | I would advise against using ghc 9 already |
| 2021-03-03 16:59:51 | <Solid> | it was just released a few weeks ago, the ecosystem is still catching up |
| 2021-03-03 17:00:00 | <Solid> | 8.10.x is a much safer bet |
| 2021-03-03 17:00:31 | <Solid> | (I would also advise to not install these kinds of libs globally but just put them into a stack project, much easier to manage them that way) |

| 2021-03-03 17:11:13 | <ADG1089__> | anyways cabal failed solving dependency tree :lol: |
| 2021-03-03 17:11:33 | <ADG1089__> | using 8.10.4 now instead of 9.0.1 |
| 2021-03-03 17:12:19 | <geekosaur> | yes, a lot of things haven't caught up with 9.0.1 yet |
| 2021-03-03 17:12:52 | <geekosaur> | and there are some significant changes that break some packages, so you can't just --allow-newer (new syntax, mostly) |
| 2021-03-03 17:13:23 | <geekosaur> | I've been using 8.10.4 and cabal (new-)build locally for a couple of weeks now |
| 2021-03-03 17:14:51 | <geekosaur> | with this setup: https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-testing/pull/16 |
| 2021-03-03 17:15:52 | <Solid> | I think you can merge that btw; I doubt anyone will have anything against it |
| 2021-03-03 17:16:09 | <ADG1089__> | yeah it requires base <x.15 but 9.0.1 has base==x.15 |
| 2021-03-03 17:19:55 | <ADG1089__> | ok now everything is working after starting form scratch and using 8.10.4 |
| 2021-03-03 17:20:07 | <ADG1089__> | still a major upgrade from 8.8.4 -> 8.10.4 |
| 2021-03-03 17:22:20 | <geekosaur> | I upgraded from an 8.6 release:) (8.6.5 I think) |
| 2021-03-03 17:23:00 | <supastupid> | so i compiled it from source using stack |
| 2021-03-03 17:23:11 | <supastupid> | how do i install it to my whole system now? |
| 2021-03-03 17:23:22 | <ADG1089__> | i think you can link it? |
| 2021-03-03 17:23:27 | <supastupid> | ?? |
| 2021-03-03 17:23:36 | <ADG1089__> | i used "sudo ln -sf <> <>" |
| 2021-03-03 17:23:50 | <Liskni_si> | Solid, geekosaur: about that xmonad-testing PR - how are people supposed to find that, btw? am I correct in assuming that recompilation with stack/cabal-new-build -built xmonad won't work without the build script? |
| 2021-03-03 17:24:06 | <supastupid> | what is <> |
| 2021-03-03 17:24:28 | <supastupid> | what do i link |
| 2021-03-03 17:24:41 | <Solid> | sure, but if you look at the changelog then not that much has changed that could break things |
| 2021-03-03 17:24:48 | <ADG1089__> | first <> is your xmonad binary location, second <> is /usr/bin/xmonad |
| 2021-03-03 17:24:52 | <geekosaur> | Liskni_si, we need to update the docs on the main site. I wanted to have something to point to in place beforehand, since our existing cabal workflow was broken by cabal 3.x |
| 2021-03-03 17:24:54 | <ADG1089__> | same for xmobar |
| 2021-03-03 17:25:24 | <supastupid> | i need to compile xmobar from source too? |
| 2021-03-03 17:25:28 | <Solid> | Liskni_si: I think you are correct |
| 2021-03-03 17:25:39 | <Solid> | another place where we need better docs I guess |
| 2021-03-03 17:25:44 | <Solid> | supastupid: you do not |
| 2021-03-03 17:25:56 | <Liskni_si> | okay, just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something |
| 2021-03-03 17:26:01 | <supastupid> | it says zsh: too many levels of symbolic links: xmonad |
| 2021-03-03 17:26:32 | <Liskni_si> | for a long time I thought telling people to "just install from git" was cool, but now I realize that it may not be as straightforward as I though :-/ |
| 2021-03-03 17:27:08 | <Liskni_si> | anyway, back to deep work, or I'll never dig out of my rabbit holes :-) |
| 2021-03-03 17:27:20 | <Solid> | hah |
| 2021-03-03 17:27:21 | <ADG1089__> | supastupid: what's the actual command you used? |
| 2021-03-03 17:27:35 | <geekosaur> | we haven't even had an announcement since 0.13? |
| 2021-03-03 17:27:42 | geekosaur | is poking at xmonad-web |
| 2021-03-03 17:27:44 | <supastupid> | ADG1089__: sudo ln -sf xmonad /usr/bin/xmonad |
| 2021-03-03 17:28:02 | <ADG1089__> | try using absolute path for first part |
| 2021-03-03 17:28:15 | <Solid> | geekosaur: at least the front page reports the latest xmonad release as 0.15 |

| 2021-03-03 17:30:41 | <Liskni_si> | my inability to estimate what I'm able to accomplish in reasonable amounts of time is absolutely ridiculous :-) |
| 2021-03-03 17:30:43 | <Solid> | doing something over Christmas _always_ works :> |
| 2021-03-03 17:31:02 | <geekosaur> | meanwhile I'll have to wait a bit to fix my local config, which is dangling because I deleted the PR branch but can't pull master until I switch networks |
| 2021-03-03 17:31:14 | <geekosaur> | kinda wish this one allowed ssh |
| 2021-03-03 17:31:33 | <geekosaur> | or I could safely switch without losing the IRC connection again |

| 2021-03-03 17:49:23 | <mc47> | okay wow I just noticed the website is mostly just html sites |

| 2021-03-03 17:49:52 | <geekosaur> | completely, I think. and an rss feed that probably hasn't been updated in years |

| 2021-03-03 17:50:41 | <supastupid> | i managed to break my whole computer by trying to install xmonad from source |

| 2021-03-03 17:50:50 | <supastupid> | is there a way to get full screen apps to not have borders? |

| 2021-03-03 17:53:50 | <mc47> | xmonad is even mentioned in their website hah! |

| 2021-03-03 18:14:32 | <Solid> | hey, maybe this is the start of something better |
| 2021-03-03 18:14:54 | <Solid> | afaik both mc47 and me are relatively new xmonad users, so fingers crossed that that won't happen this time |
