Oops, accidentally pushed this most recent to commit to master (but reverted again). |
This commit ensures that the stackage snapshot used when building from source following the instructions in INSTALL.md will be the same as the one used in development and in binary bundles. This is safer (because you'll end up with a set of dependencies which have been tested together) and it also means you'll always get the latest version according to Hackage. In comparison, the Stackage nightly is often behind because of waiting for purescript or other libraries to make changes to allow all packages in the nightly to build together.
