Implement Asterius Hackage Overlay
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. This is the tracking issue for the Asterius Hackage Overlay.
Describe the solution you'd like We should implement and host a Hackage overlay, similar to head.hackage and mobile haskell overlay. The reason is:
- We already patch some boot libs anyway. Moving the patches to the overlay can simplify and speed up the booting process, since the patched packages can be installed by
ahc-cabalalong with the unpatched ones. - Some of the packages on Hackage require patching to work. A Hackage overlay is a principled way of maintaining patched packages.
