Building remote propellor with stack would remove the limitation that code should be compilable with stock ghc from package manager. I have done some preliminary work on this feature in my [github clone](https://github.com/abailly/propellor) for propellor, currently from 2.17.2 branch (I wanted to reuse existing properties). The code is mostly in [Bootstrap](https://github.com/abailly/propellor/blob/master/src/Propellor/Bootstrap.hs) and is currently limited to linux systems. Adapting to FreeBsd should be straightforward as this is supported by slack and there are native builds available. + +If there is interest in such a feature I would be happy to move it to HEAD and provide a patch. -- cgit v1.2.3
