Support nightly Stackage #37

Closed 4e6 closed 7 years ago

4e6 commented 7 years ago

Should be able to generate nightly Stackage

Repo: https://github.com/fpco/stackage-nightly

Fuuzetsu commented 7 years ago

I'm interested. Would it not be the case of just pointing --lts-haskell to the nightly repo and things should Just Work™?

Indeed I just tried this with nightly-2017-10-11: checked out the above repository and pointed --lts-haskell to it and it seems perfectly happy.

I guess part of this ticket should be about the nix wrapper also getting nightly repository but there should be no new backend code needed at least.

Yes, this approach works, that's the reason I set aside this issue so far.

I don't have a clear idea on how to do this properly. I'm not a fan of having an extra flag for stackage-nightly directory. The easiest way I can think of would be to dump stackage-nightly and lts-haskell configs into a single directory and point nix-wrapper to it.

Addressed in #39
