Similar to the last post on building a C project, today I quickly cover how to build a Haskell project.

You might ask why? I got asked about that stuff by my friendly office colleague Samuel. By the way, without him I would have never installed/used Nixos in the first place. Good fella, go checkout his blog.

I spent some time with a neat little CLI application: txtv

I slightly modified the code so it reads from Swiss 🇨🇭 Teletext source (SRF):

How-To Test Nixpkg Perl Module Additions

I recently installed NixOS on my laptop.

So far, I'm very happy with how things work and can do most of my tasks as on any other Linux distribution. Some tasks, however, require some more reading and thinking.

Today I wanted to jot down a quick how-to on testing an addition to the Perl packages in the Nix Packages collection (Nixpkgs).
