Subject: [PATCH] import: stackage: Don’t try to update packages not available on Stackage.

From: Xinglu Chen <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2021 13:31:51 +0200

Previously, the ‘hackage-package?’ predicate was used which meant that
the updater would try to update non-Stackage packages, and lead to messages
like these:

  $ guix refresh -t stackage
  warning: failed to parse https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hurl/hurl.cabal
  warning: failed to parse https://hackage.haskell.org/package/idris/idris.cabal

Since ‘hurl’ and ‘idris’ aren’t available on the current Stackage LTS release,
they should be filtered out before the Stackage updater even tries to update
them.

* stackage.scm (stackage-package?): New procedure.
(%stackage-updater): Use it.
