I am behind a firewall with strict rules about downloading software from the internet, so I would like to know if it is possible to download an entire stackage LTS snapshot in one go and serve it on a local server, to which we could then point the stack tool.
By "snapshot" I would be referring to the source code for all packages because ideally we'd need to draw from that local server to build on multiple (stack-supported) platforms (Linux, Windows).
For example, it would be nice to be able to go to a new machine within the firewall, then run "stack new", then edit the yaml file to point it to a local stackage server with given resolver number, then it would just behave normally from then on, except always downloading packages from the local server.
What about compilers? I know that stack also downloads the compilers, so I guess those would have to be included in the downloaded snapshot-package for various platforms right?
Thank you
