hsinstall
Synopsis
Pack a haskell project into a deployable directory structure
Description
hsinstall is a tool for deploying software projects into directory structures
suitable for installation on a system. It builds upon the stack install and
cabal install commands and adds more features. It’s also a tool for easier
AppImage creation.
- Copies the
LICENSEfile into<PREFIX>/share/<PROJECT-NAME>/doc - Copies the contents of a template directory stucture in your project (named
hsi-tmplorhsi-tmpl.EXE) into the destination prefix directory. This can contain additional binaries or scripts, resources, documentation, etc. - Optionally builds an AppDir-shaped directory structure for the project and produces an an AppImage binary
If the AppImage features are desired, you must have these tools on your PATH:
linuxdeploy: https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy/releases
linuxdeploy-plugin-appimage: https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy-plugin-appimage/releases
Development
Browse the source
Get source with git and build
$ git clone https://codeberg.org/dinofp/hsinstall.git
$ cd hsinstall
$ stack build
If you have the abovementioned linuxdeploy-* programs on your path, we can do
something really cool. Use this freshly-built hsinstall to package itself
into an AppImage:
$ stack run hsinstall -- --appimage hsinstall
And you should see an hsinstall-y.z-x86_64.AppImage binary in .
Tip: Use git clean -df to blow away untracked things like the hsi-* and
AppImage artifacts.
Handy command to generate Haddock docs during development if using stack. This constrains doc generation to modules in the library:
$ stack haddock --no-haddock-deps
