add to stackage

Thanks for vty-windows! Could it be added to stackage nightly, like the other vty-* packages.

Oh, yes I can do that I think. I will try to get to it this weekend.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I've just never used stack before.

[simonmichael]

Thank you! You can just send a PR adding it to https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stackage/blob/master/build-constraints.yaml .

(Having it in stackage helps it get packaged more widely and helps with reproducible installs of vty/brick-based apps.)

Hello,
So I opened a PR where I added vty-windows to the same list as vty, etc. Unfortunately the check.sh script failed in CI.
So I'm not sure exactly what the process is for adding a package that can only be built on Windows. Should I just add it to the 'skipped-builds' section? Seems like the documentation could be a bit clearer for that scenario.

skipped-builds:
- hfsevents
- lzma-clib
- Win32
- Win32-notify
- windns

[simonmichael]

I'm not either. I think Stackage only tests builds on GNI/linux. I would just try a PR and see if it passes. Or, #haskell-stack:matrix.org chat room will know.

Oh, I see the commercialhaskell/stackage#7329 , currently blocked awaiting maintainer approval.

commercialhaskell/stackage#7385 was also needed. vty-windows is now in stackage (nightly-2024-04-20).
