Michael Snoyman a609f1fc0c Check for version conflicts ourselves. 
This was done by cabal-install previously. But doing it ourselves, we gain a
few things:

* Found out about problems faster.
* Get a complete list of problems, including tests.
* Much more user-friendly output.

stackage

"Stable Hackage," tools for creating a vetted set of packages from Hackage.

A note about the codebase: the goal is to minimize dependencies and have the maximum range of supported compiler versions. Therefore, we avoid anything "complicated." For example, instead of using the text package, we use Strings everywhere.

Get your package included

In order to get your package included in the set of stable packages, you should send a pull request against this repository. In the Stackage.Config module, there's a function called defaultStablePackages. In general, to add a set of packages, you would add:

mapM_ (add "your-email-address") $ words
    "package1 package2 package3"

You can follow the examples of the other sets of packages in that function. Once you've done this, you should confirm that your newly added packages are compatible with the rest of stackage by building the package set.

Build the package set

As this project is just starting, we don't really have a solid set of steps. In general, the following set of commands should be good for getting started:

cabal update
cabal install cabal-dev
git clone https://github.com/fpco/stackage
cd stackage
git submodule update --init # get the Haskell Platform files
runghc app/stackage.hs build # takes a *long* time

Notes

Make sure to have Cabal-1.16 installed in either your global or user database, regardless of any sandboxing, as custom build types require it to be present. You must build with cabal-install 1.16, due to several important bug fixes.
