Stack (Haskell)
open-in-new
<p>Stack is a tool to build projects and manage their <a href="/facts/Coupling_(computer_programming)/QEeSaXF3">dependencies</a> for the <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming language</a> <a href="/facts/Haskell/ydEsHuGy">Haskell</a>. It uses the <a href="/facts/Cabal_(software)/nguAAvDs">Cabal</a> <a href="/facts/Library_(computing)/xRzL3P7q">library</a> but with a curated version of the Hackage <a href="/facts/Software_repository/TlX4RM8Y">software repository</a> named <i>Stackage</i>. </p><p>Stack competes against Cabal's <a href="/facts/Binary_file/ysttM8hh">binary file</a> cabal-install and has been created as a result of the overall criticism about dependency problems. However, it does not provide its own <a href="/facts/Package_format/NWx3JYj7">package format</a>, but uses extant *.cabal files and complements projects with an added stack.yaml file. </p>
