+# Resolver to choose a 'specific' stackage snapshot or a compiler version.
+# A snapshot resolver dictates the compiler version and the set of packages
+# to be used for project dependencies. For example:
+#
+# resolver: lts-3.5
+# resolver: nightly-2015-09-21
+# resolver: ghc-7.10.2
+# resolver: ghcjs-0.1.0_ghc-7.10.2
+# resolver:
+#  name: custom-snapshot
+#  location: "./custom-snapshot.yaml"
+resolver: lts-11.7
+
+# User packages to be built.
+# Various formats can be used as shown in the example below.
+#
+# packages:
+# - some-directory
+# - https://example.com/foo/bar/baz-0.0.2.tar.gz
+# - location:
+#    git: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack.git

+# A package marked 'extra-dep: true' will only be built if demanded by a
