Update pinned nixpgks

[teggotic]

I've tried to update pinned nixpkgs by rebasing @nh2 's commits to the latest master branch (as of 2023-09-16).

Hey @nh2, how do I really verify/test that this really works.

I'm working on a tool, which now can be built with static version ghc946.

how do I really verify/test that this really works.

Build nix-build --no-link survey/default.nix -A working and -A workingStackageExecutables (defined here). I generally add the ones that fail to that exclusion list, so that workingStackageExecutables produces build errors.

You also have to update this:

static-haskell-nix/survey/default.nix

Lines 24 to 37 in 88f1e2d

	# When changing this, also change the default version of Cabal declared below
	compiler ? "ghc927",
	# Tries to use `.a` files when evaluating TH, instead of `.so` files.
	useArchiveFilesForTemplateHaskell ? false,
	# See https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary/libraries/version-history
	defaultCabalPackageVersionComingWithGhc ?
	({
	ghc8107 = "Cabal_3_2_1_0";
	ghc902 = "Cabal_3_4_1_0";
	ghc927 = "Cabal_3_6_3_0";
	ghc962 = "Cabal_3_10_1_0";
	}."${compiler}"),

if the GHC version changes (e.g. if the nixpkgs default ghc changes from ghc927 to ghc928).

static-haskell-nix's master branch is generally based on the latest stable nixpkgs release. Given that this updates to nixpkgs master, we'd keep the PR open for now until that becomes NixOS 23.11, and then merge it.

Meanwhile, people who want to base on NixOS master can use the pin from this PR.

Ideally you would also update this line to the same commit as pinned by your submodule update:

static-haskell-nix/nixpkgs.nix

Line 29 in 88f1e2d
