In the Stack docs, it says we can use resolver: ghc-x.y.z.

  • LTS Haskell snapshots, e.g. resolver: lts-21.13
  • Stackage Nightly snapshots, e.g. resolver: nightly-2023-09-24
  • No snapshot, just use packages shipped with the compiler. For GHC this looks like resolver: ghc-9.6.2

SOURCE: resolver or snapshot

I can get a cabal.config file for LTS and nightly resolvers. Could we provide a cabal.config for ghc-x.y.z resolvers too? If so then I'd expect it would show packages shipped with the compiler.

In principle I don't see why not. But the info needs to come from GHC somehow.

The snapshot config files are generated on the fly: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stackage-server/blob/master/src/Handler/StackageHome.hs#L66

I discovered that https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stackage-content/blob/master/stack/global-hints.yaml exists, but it's not made available over HTTP anywhere.

(It's used by stackage-server-cron, which reads the file off the filesystem.)
