# To update:
# 1) Modify ./update.sh and run it
# 2) to generate versions.dat:
# 2.1) git clone https://github.com/elm/compiler.git
# 2.2) cd compiler
# 2.3) cabal2nix --shell . | sed 's/"default",/"ghc822",/' > shell.nix
# 2.4) nix-shell
# 2.5) mkdir .elm
# 2.6) export ELM_HOME=$(pwd)/.elm
# 2.7) cabal build
# 2.8) cp .elm/0.19.0/package/versions.dat ...
# 3) generate a template for elm-elm.nix with:
# (
# echo "{";
# jq '.dependencies | .direct, .indirect | to_entries | .[] | { (.key) : { version : .value, sha256: "" } } ' \
# < ui/browser/elm.json \
# | sed 's/:/ =/' \
# | sed 's/^[{}]//' \
# | sed -E 's/(["}]),?$/\1;/' \
# | sed -E 's/"(version|sha256)"/\1/' \
# | grep -v '^$';
# echo "}"
# )
#
# ... then fill in the sha256s
# Notes:
# the elm binary embeds a piece of pre-compiled elm code, used by 'elm
# reactor'. this means that the build process for 'elm' effectively
# executes 'elm make'. that in turn expects to retrieve the elm
# dependencies of that code (elm/core, etc.) from
# package.elm-lang.org, as well as a cached bit of metadata
# (versions.dat).
# the makeDotElm function lets us retrieve these dependencies in the
# standard nix way. we have to copy them in (rather than symlink) and
# make them writable because the elm compiler writes other .dat files
# alongside the source code. versions.dat was produced during an
# impure build of this same code; the build complains that it can't
# update this cache, but continues past that warning.
# finally, we set ELM_HOME to point to these pre-fetched artifacts so
# that the default of ~/.elm isn't used.
