## Maintainer Workflow

The goal of the [@NixOS/haskell](https://github.com/orgs/NixOS/teams/haskell)
team is to keep the Haskell packages in Nixpkgs up-to-date, while making sure
there are no Haskell-related evaluation errors or build errors that get into
the Nixpkgs `master` branch.

We do this by periodically merging an updated set of Haskell packages on the
`haskell-updates` branch into the `master` branch. Each member of the team
takes a two week period where they are in charge of merging the
`haskell-updates` branch into `master`. This is the documentation for this
workflow.

The workflow generally proceeds in three main steps:

1. create the initial `haskell-updates` PR, and update Stackage and Hackage snapshots
1. wait for contributors to fix newly broken Haskell packages
1. merge `haskell-updates` into `master`

Each of these steps is described in a separate section.

### Initial `haskell-updates` PR

In this section we create the PR for merging `haskell-updates` into `master`.

1. Make sure the `haskell-updates` branch is up-to-date with `master`.

1. Update the Stackage Nightly resolver used by Nixpkgs and create a commit:

```console
$ ./maintainers/scripts/haskell/update-stackage.sh --do-commit
```

1. Update the Hackage package set used by Nixpkgs and create a commit:

```console
$ ./maintainers/scripts/haskell/update-hackage.sh --do-commit
```

1. Regenerate the Haskell package set used in Nixpkgs and create a commit:

```console
$ ./maintainers/scripts/haskell/regenerate-hackage-packages.sh --do-commit
```

1. Push these commits to the Nixpkgs repository.

1. Open a PR on Nixpkgs merging `haskell-updates` into `master`.

Use the following message body:

```markdown
### This Merge

This PR is the regular merge of the `haskell-updates` branch into `master`.

This branch is being continually built and tested by hydra at https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/haskell-updates.

I will aim to merge this PR **by 2021-TODO-TODO**. If I can merge it earlier, there might be successor PRs in that time window. As part of our rotation @TODO will continue these merges from 2021-TODO-TODO to 2021-TODO-TODO.

### haskellPackages Workflow Summary

Our workflow is currently described in
[`pkgs/development/haskell-modules/HACKING.md`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/haskell-updates/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/HACKING.md).

The short version is this:
* We regularly update the Stackage and Hackage pins on `haskell-updates` (normally at the beginning of a merge window).
* The community fixes builds of Haskell packages on that branch.
* We aim at at least one merge of `haskell-updates` into `master` every two weeks.
* We only do the merge if the `mergeable` job is succeeding on hydra.
* If a maintained package is still broken at the time of merge, we will only merge if the maintainer has been pinged 7 days in advance. (If you care about a Haskell package, become a maintainer!)

---

This is the follow-up to #TODO.
```

Make sure to replace all TODO with the actual values.

### Notify Maintainers and Fix Broken Packages

After you've done the previous steps, Hydra will start building the new and
updated Haskell packages. You can see the progress Hydra is making at
https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/haskell-updates. This Hydra jobset is
defined in the file [release-haskell.nix](../../top-level/release-haskell.nix).

#### Notify Maintainers

When Hydra finishes building all the updated packages for the `haskell-updates`
jobset, you should generate a build report to notify maintainers of their
newly broken packages. You can do that with the following commands:

```console
$ ./maintainers/scripts/haskell/hydra-report.hs get-report
$ ./maintainers/scripts/haskell/hydra-report.hs ping-maintainers
```

The `hyda-report.hs ping-maintainers` command generates a Markdown document
that you can paste in a GitHub comment on the PR opened above. This
comment describes which Haskell packages are now failing to build. It also
pings the maintainers so that they know to fix up their packages.

It may be helpful to pipe `hydra-report.hs ping-maintainers` into `xclip`
(XOrg) or `wl-copy` (Wayland) in order to post on GitHub.

This build report can be fetched and re-generated for new Hydra evaluations.
It may help contributors to try to keep the GitHub comment updated with the
most recent build report.

Maintainers should be given at least 7 days to fix up their packages when they
break. If maintainers don't fix up their packages with 7 days, then they
may be marked broken before merging `haskell-updates` into `master`.

#### Fix Broken Packages

After getting the build report, you can see which packages and Hydra jobs are
failing to build. The most important jobs are the `maintained` and `mergeable`
jobs. These are both defined in
[`release-haskell.nix`](../../top-level/release-haskell.nix).

`mergeable` is a set of the most important Haskell packages, including things
like Pandoc and XMonad. These packages are widely used. We would like to
always keep these building.

`maintained` is a set of Haskell packages that have maintainers in Nixpkgs.
We should be proactive in working with maintainers to keep their packages
building.

Steps to fix Haskell packages that are failing to build is out of scope for
this document, but it usually requires fixing up dependencies that are now
out-of-bounds.

#### Mark Broken Packages

Packages that do not get fixed can be marked broken with the following
commands. First check which packages are broken:

```console
$ ./maintainers/scripts/haskell/hydra-report.hs get-report
$ ./maintainers/scripts/haskell/hydra-report.hs mark-broken-list
```

This shows a list of packages that reported a build failure on `x86_64-linux` on Hydra.

Next, run the following command:

```console
$ ./maintainers/scripts/haskell/mark-broken.sh --do-commit
```

This first opens up an editor with the broken package list. Some of these
packages may have a maintainer in Nixpkgs. If these maintainers have not been
given 7 days to fix up their package, then make sure to remove those packages
from the list before continuing. After saving and exiting the editor, the
following will happen:

- Packages from the list will be added to
[`configuration-hackage2nix/broken.yaml`](configuration-hackage2nix/broken.yaml).
This is a list of Haskell packages that are known to be broken.

- [`hackage-packages.nix`](hackage-packages.nix) will be regenerated. This
will mark all Haskell pacakges in `configuration-hackage2nix/broken.yaml`
as `broken`.

- The
[`configuration-hackage2nix/transitive-broken.yaml`](configuration-hackage2nix/transitive-broken.yaml)
file will be updated. This is a list of Haskell packages that
depend on a package in `configuration-hackage2nix/broken.yaml` or
`configuration-hackage2nix/transitive-broken.yaml`

- `hackage-packages.nix` will be regenerated again. This will set
`hydraPlatforms = none` for all the packages in
`configuration-hackage2nix/transitive-broken.yaml`. This makes
sure that Hydra does not try to build any of these packages.

- All updated files will be committed.

#### Merge `master` into `haskell-updates`

You should occasionally merge the `master` branch into the `haskell-updates`
branch.

In an ideal world, when we merge `haskell-updates` into `master`, it would
cause few Hydra rebuilds on `master`. Ideally, the `nixos-unstable` channel
would never be prevented from progressing because of needing to wait for
rebuilding Haskell packages.

In order to make sure that there are a minimal number of rebuilds after merging
`haskell-updates` into `master`, `master` should occasionally be merged into
the `haskell-updates` branch.

This is especially important after `staging-next` is merged into `master`,
since there is a high chance that this will cause all the Haskell packages to
rebuild.

### Merge `haskell-updates` into `master`

Now it is time to merge the `haskell-updates` PR you opened above.

Before doing this, make sure of the following:

- All Haskell packages that fail to build are correctly marked broken or
transitively broken.

- The `maintained` and `mergeable` jobs are passing on Hydra.

- The maintainers for any maintained Haskell packages that are newly broken
have been pinged on GitHub and given at least a week to fix their packages.
This is especially important for widely-used packages like `cachix`.

- Make sure you first merge the `master` branch into `haskell-updates`. Wait
for Hydra to evaluate the new `haskell-updates` jobset. Make sure you only
merge `haskell-updates` into `master` when there are no evaluation errors.

When you've double-checked these points, go ahead and merge the `haskell-updates` PR.
After merging, **make sure not to delete the `haskell-updates` branch**, since it
causes all currently open Haskell-related pull-requests to be automatically closed on GitHub.

### Additional Info

Here are some additional tips that didn't fit in above.

- Hydra tries to evalute the `haskell-updates` branch (in the
[`nixpkgs:haskell-updates`](https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/haskell-updates)
jobset) every 4 hours. It is possible to force a new Hydra evaluation without
waiting 4 hours by the following steps:

1. Log into Hydra with your GitHub or Google account.
1. Go to the [nixpkgs:haskell-updates](https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixpkgs/haskell-updates) jobset.
1. Click the `Actions` button.
1. Select `Evaluate this jobset`.
1. If you refresh the page, there should be a new `Evaluation running since:` line.
1. Evaluations take about 10 minutes to finish.

- It is sometimes helpful to update the version of
[`cabal2nix` / `hackage2nix`](https://github.com/NixOS/cabal2nix) that our
maintainer scripts use. This can be done with the
[`maintainers/scripts/haskell/update-cabal2nix-unstable.sh`](../../../maintainers/scripts/haskell/update-cabal2nix-unstable.sh)
script.

You might want to do this if a user contributes a fix to `cabal2nix` that
will immediately fix a Haskell package in Nixpkgs. First, merge in
the PR to `cabal2nix`, then run `update-cabal2nix-upstable.sh`. Finally, run
[`regenerate-hackage-packages.sh`](../../../maintainers/scripts/haskell/regenerate-hackage-packages.sh)
to regenerate the Hackage package set with the updated version of `hackage2nix`.

- Make sure never to update the Hackage package hashes in
[`pkgs/data/misc/hackage/`](../../../pkgs/data/misc/hackage/), or the
pinned Stackage Nightly versions on the release branches (like
`release-21.05`).

This means that the
[`update-hackage.sh`](../../../maintainers/scripts/haskell/update-hackage.sh)
and
[`update-stackage.sh`](../../../maintainers/scripts/haskell/update-stackage.sh)
scripts should never be used on the release branches.

However, changing other files in `./.` and regenerating the package set is encouraged.
This can be done with
[`regenerate-hackage-packages.sh`](../../../maintainers/scripts/haskell/regenerate-hackage-packages.sh)
as described above.

- The Haskell team members generally hang out in the Matrix room
[#haskell:nixos.org](https://matrix.to/#/#haskell:nixos.org).
