For the Cachix download to work, your user must be in the trusted-users list or you can use sudo since root is effectively trusted.

Or, build yourself:

nix-build -A purescript https://github.com/r-ryantm/nixpkgs/archive/78295517f1cd88e39cf2f242514c4486ecf286b6.tar.gz

After you've downloaded or built it, look at the files and if there are any, run the binaries:

ls -la /nix/store/c3zcmf2v1hp913dfa6a50pcx3p6znp74-purescript-0.15.3-3
ls -la /nix/store/c3zcmf2v1hp913dfa6a50pcx3p6znp74-purescript-0.15.3-3/bin

Pre-merge build results

We have automatically built all packages that will get rebuilt due to
this change.

This gives evidence on whether the upgrade will break dependent packages.
Note sometimes packages show up as failed to build independent of the
change, simply because they are already broken on the target branch.

These 0.15.X-N releases are all automated preview releases. See the notes: https://github.com/purescript/purescript/releases/tag/v0.15.3-3, and the announcement on Discourse: https://discourse.purescript.org/t/purescript-continuous-prereleases/3006

These aren't stable releases, and probably shouldn't be added to Nixpkgs (at the very least, they shouldn't become the top-level purescript derivation). I've changed this PR to a draft so that it doesn't get merged.

[thomashoneyman]

I agree these should not be in nixpkgs (I'm on the PureScript core team). These prereleases are meant for users to be able to check compiler work continuously and are not intended as stable releases. For example, while these prereleases can be downwloaded from NPM using npm i purescript@next, a normal installation npm i purescript will not download a prerelease version.

Perhaps this is something that could be changed in https://github.com/ryantm/nixpkgs-update so that prereleases are omitted, at least for this package?

I imagine that would probably be the best solution, although I'm not familiar with the bot enough to know how easy implementing it would be. At the very least, the bot/package is written in Haskell, so if someone from the PureScript community was interested in fixing this, I imagine they might not have too much trouble.

[rhendric]

Actually, I think the problem is with the update script here in Nixpkgs; this line doesn't take prereleases into account.

[cdepillabout]

@rhendric That's a good point. That sounds like something I should be able to easily fix then. I'll have to put together a PR for that.

[rhendric]

FYI for when you do that, there's a GitHub endpoint specifically for the latest full release that you might want to use instead of the get-all-releases endpoint.
