Stackage is a stable source of Haskell packages. We guarantee that packages build consistently and pass tests before generating nightly and Long Term Support (LTS) releases.
Stackage is a stable source of Haskell packages. It guarantees that packages build consistently and pass tests before generating nightly and Long Term Support (LTS) releases.
<p>
A Stackage snapshot includes pinned package versions from <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org">Hackage</a> (the index of all Haskell packages in all versions).
It is a curated set of packages that work well together, similar to how a <a href="https://www.debian.org">Debian</a> release is a curated snapshot of most of the open-source software in the world.
<p>
<a href="https://haskellstack.org">Stack</a> is a tool made specifically to make using Stackage snapshots easy and convenient.
We recommend you to use it.
But you can also use Stackage in other ways: as a source for packages that work well together, or to ensure that Haskell packages you author or care about work well with others.
<p>
Stackage is a community project: Haskell users around the world work together to create the stable snapshots.
<br />
Stackage itself and all tools surrounding it are open-source.
<p>
Stackage's infrastructure, build machines, initial creation and ongoing maintenance, are proudly sponsored by <a href="https://www.fpcomplete.com">FP Complete</a>.
