Stack install hls (upload package to hackage/stackage)

[jeapostrophe]

I'd like to be able to type stack install haskell-language-server in a stack package and have a version of all the tools I need for the version of GHC that package is using and put in a place where it will get found, if I change my LSP setup (in neovim) from cmd = { "haskell-language-server-wrapper", "--lsp" } to cmd = { "stack", "exec", "haskell-language-server-wrapper", "--lsp" }

That would be a nice feature, it needs the package in hackage and, optionally, in stackage. That, in turn, needs that hls uses ghcide from hackage instead as a submodule.

We could continue to use ghcide as a submodule, just make sure we release syncronised? The flexibility of upgrading ghcide quickly seems like its currently pretty useful, so I'd be a bit sad to give that up.

[jneira]

Yeah, i overlooked it; just sync them will be enough

[jneira]

It turns out the next release (#567) will use the hackage ghcide version, so we could release hls to hackage (by coincidence this time so maybe it will be discontinued)

[jneira]

There is some discussion about the issue of the possible mismatch between the project ghc and the used on to compile hls: #567 (comment)

[jneira]

hls is already in hackage and we have too much extra-deps to upload to stackage in short/medium term so closing this
if anybody still thinks that upload to stackage would be good please open a new specific issue
