Use Hackage only instead of Stackage

[pxeger]

$ stack --version
Version 2.7.3, Git revision 7927a3aec32e2b2e5e4fb5be76d0d50eddcc197f x86_64 hpack-0.34.4

Installed with ghcup.

I want to use GHC 9.2 with Stack. However, Stackage doesn't yet support this version, even on nightly (see commercialhaskell/stackage#6318). But Stack itself seems to support 9.2, so I'd like to know if it's possible to use stack without using Stackage at all, so I can just install packages directly from Hackage. Is this currently possible, or does this issue need to be a feature request?

stack doesn't have a dependency resolver, so using hackage directly will likely not work well, because package bounds won't be respected.

Ah, I see. I guess I should just use cabal on its own then?

If you care about hackage support, that's the best option. Otherwise try stackage nightly: https://www.stackage.org/nightly

You can overwrite the GHC in a per stack.yaml basis via: compiler: ghc-9.2.1 and force stack to use any GHC with any snapshot.

I've got some success on nightly already.
