[stack] Sharing binaries built by stack

[Arnaud Bailly-2]

Hello,

In order to speed up builds on our CI infrastructure when we spin up new machines, I would like to share binaries of all the libraries built by stack. What's the best/recommended way of doing that?

Thanks,

If you're using the same user and directory structure, you can simply copy your ~/.stack directory around. This is essentially what Travis's caching does.

Thanks Michael. Yes, that's mostly the case, or I could ensure this is the case. This needs to be same user because some components inside .stack are using absolut paths, right?

Yes. I think that simply setting STACK_ROOT would allow you to successfully do this with different users since it will ensure consistent filepaths.

You mean, setting STACK_ROOT to some well-known location wherever we are using shared .stack? Like

$ STACK_ROOT=/stack stack build ...

?
