Description

For example, hackage **happy**, which contains some resource files like _HappyTemplate-arrays-coerce_ in share folder.

Now that `stack` installs the executable `happy` in ~/.local/bin, but leaves the resources in ~/.stack/snapshots. If I remove the snapshots to release the disk space, `happy` breaks.

Wondering if there can be a solution.
