How can I create a travis script for Haskel/stack?

Question

I've seen quite a few travis stack scripts, they seemed pretty complicated, I don't think they have to be so complicated.

Here's mine:

language: haskell
sudo: false

ghc:
- '7.10.3'

Locally I compile my app by "stack build".

How can I add "stack" to the travis file properly? At the moment I need only stack, no tests.

There's a very thorough example at

http://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/GUIDE/#travis-with-caching

It used to be much smaller, but we added support to that to build with both Stack and cabal, which complicated things a lot. You can always trim it down to remove support for some of the more complicated features.
