I personally just download the latest bindist from the GHC site and bootstrap cabal myself. Partly this is because my work requires me to have the latest GHC, so maybe I'm not in the HP's target demographic. That said, I would love if there was a platform that just did that (+ whatever is needed to get that to work). Maybe at the end of the minimal install, give me a choice between stackage and hackage and set the remote-repo in my cabal file appropriately.
I’m happy to say `halcyon install --cabal-remote-repo=…` does just that. See the Halcyon tutorial and reference for details: https://halcyon.sh/tutorial/#install-ghc-and-cabal https://halcyon.sh/reference/#halcyon_cabal_remote_repo -- Miëtek https://mietek.io
