I=E2=80=99m not sure if this lies more with guile or with guix, but =
there=E2=80=99s definitely
room for improvment either way.

I was working on https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D36084,
haskell-check.scm was changed as follows:

-       ("ghc-clock-bootstrap" ,ghc-clock-bootstrap)
+       ("ghc-clock-bootstrap" ,(@@ (gnu packages haskell) =
ghc-clock-bootstrap))

In haskell.scm I had a working package definition for =
ghc-clock-bootstrap,
and added a definition for ghc-clock along these lines:

+(define-public ghc-clock
+  (package
+    (inherit ghc-clock-bootstrap)
+    (name "ghc-clock")
+    ;;(version "0.7.2")
+    (source
+     (origin
+       (method url-fetch)
+       (uri (string-append
+             "https://hackage.haskell.org/package/"
+             "clock/"
+             "clock-" version ".tar.gz"))
+       (sha256
+        (base32 =
"07v91s20halsqjmziqb1sqjp2sjpckl9by7y28aaklwqi2bh2rl8"))
+       (patches
+        (search-patches
+         "ghc-clock-disable-library.patch"))))
+    (inputs
+     `(("ghc-tasty" ,ghc-tasty)
+       ("ghc-tasty-quickcheck" ,ghc-tasty-quickcheck)))
+    (arguments
+     `(#:tests? #t))))
+

This is broken due to the reference to version, fixed by uncommenting =
the
version field. The problem is with the error messages:

  guix build ghc-clock

gave pages of warnings, ending with a plain

  guix build: error: ghc-clock: unknown package

Knowing I=E2=80=99d edited haskell.scm and it worked fine before, I ran

  guild compile haskell.scm

which hung.

Finally

  guild compile haskell-check.scm

very subtly pointed me at some issue with version in haskell.scm. Full
output below.
