When I was working on this for Nix, I offered to make the code a

I would like to take you up on that offer! I think it would need a few tweaks for our purposes, but this is very close to a feature I was planning to add to cabal-install. Our dependency requirements are already growing, and they will continue to do so, whether in small steps or leaps and bounds.

Cool, I'll be happy to help. I've opened up an issue about this: https://github.com/fpco/stackage-server/issues/95 Can you add some details about the kinds of changes you're looking for and we can start sketching out a plan? Michael
