Compiler page

[tchoutri]

It would be nice to have a /compilers/<name>/<maj-min> page that would give informations about the release, link to the release notes, etc.

The compiler tags would link to the maj-min page:

Interesting informations:

• Date of the first release
• Date of the latest patch release
• Base version associated with the latest patch release
  • A subpage for a listing of packages whose upper bound on base do not include the shipped version of base with the latest maj-min-patch version.
• Installation instruction with ghcup
• Version of HLS that supports it

What other thing could be interesting on a glance?

@maerwald Ideas welcome

Base version associated with the latest patch release

ghcup list -t ghc -r | grep 'ghc 9.2.5' | awk '{ print $3 }' | sed 's/.*,//' | grep 'base-'

This should be fairly stable and ok.

Date of the latest patch release

Not yet: haskell/ghcup-hs#98

Installation instruction with ghcup

ghcup install ghc <ver>

Version of HLS that supports it

Parse this: https://github.com/haskell/ghcup-metadata/blob/develop/hls-metadata-0.0.1.json

We could indeed go a long way parsing https://github.com/haskell/ghcup-metadata/blob/develop/ghcup-0.0.7.yaml

Would it be possible to spell the compiler's name in the sidebar section "Tested Compilers"? It currently shows versions of GHC, presumably, but it never says explicitly, which looks amiss.
