Hi,
I'd like to test some GHC builds + some compile and runtime flag combinations against a large set of packages by building them and running test suites. For this I need
- A set of packages that are known to work with latest GHC - A way to build them and run their test suites (if I could specify compile and runtime flags that'd be even better)
I think stackage can serve as (1) but I don't know how to do (2). Can anyone point me to the right direction? I vaguely remember some nix-based solution for this that was being discussed on the IRC channel, but can't recall any details.
You are probably remembering head.hackage [1], which has both nix and non-nix tooling. A few of us have been trying to bring it up-to-date with GHC 8.6. I suspect the changes in HEAD are small enough that it will work with newer compilers as well. Cheers, - Ben [1] https://github.com/hvr/head.hackage
