stackage-cli

A command-line interface for leveraging stackage.

You must have ghc, ghc-pkg, and cabal on your $PATH. This program will make various calls to those executables on your behalf.

This package provides the following stackage plugins:

stackage init

Downloads a cabal.config file from stackage.org. That's all it does! The cabal.config file constrains the package versions used to build your project. Stackage.org is constantly calculating the best compatible build plans for a big subset of Hackage.

stackage purge

Calls ghc-pkg unregister on your package databases. (You will be prompted on a per-db basis; use stackage purge --force if you don't want to be prompted.) This is an easy way to clean out your sandbox.

stackage upgrade

A stackage purge followed by stackage init.
