Provide machine-readable binary distribution metadata
@maerwald has suggested that it would be useful to have various information about released binary distributions in a machine readable format (e.g. JSON or YAML). Such metadata would include the following for each bindist:
- package versions in bindist package database (addressing #21996)
- operating system the bindist was built on
-
gmp
,ncurses
,libc
versions - perhaps
gcc
andbinutils
versions - build configuration (e.g. flavour)
ghc --info
