Head.hackage doesn't have an out of the box package set but it is quite straightforward to construct such a set. While I now tend to use nix, in the past I generally just constructed a dummy cabal package listing the packages of interest as dependencies.
There are two approaches to choosing a set of packages: extract the packages from Stackage's build-constraints.yaml or just additively build up a set from the top of your head. I find the latter is often more realistic; stackage is now large enough that even getting a fraction of it to build with a prerelease compiler can be a significant undertaking.
here is another package set worth considering, if you want a representative collection of packages with (somewhat) significance: The packages distributed by Debian: https://salsa.debian.org/haskell-team/package-plan/raw/master/packages.txt Cheers, Joachim -- Joachim Breitner mail@joachim-breitner.de http://www.joachim-breitner.de/
