Stack itself (as opposed to its dependencies) cannot be built on NixOS/with Nix due to a Cabal bug but tests on NixOS suggest that package digest needs pkg-config and zlib but that unzip is not required to build Stack on Nix.

  • Any changes that could be relevant to users have been recorded in ChangeLog.md.
  • The documentation has been updated, if necessary

Please also shortly describe how you tested your change. Bonus points for added tests! Relying on CI
