Starting new Haskell is a hassle. You have to:

• Create a new project directory
• Populate it with source and build infrastructure files
• Create a git repository
• Commit the boilerplate you just created
• Install dependencies (e.g. run »stack build«)
• Create a new github repository
• Link the github repository

This package automates these steps.

Configuration

User configuration files are expected in either of

• ~/.make-package.conf
• ~/.make-package/make-package.conf
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/make-package/make-package.conf. (where $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config if unset)

Templates

Template can come from 4 source:

• Git templates: git:<git repository> (accepts any url git accepts)
• Templates on github: github:<username>/<repo> (Must be publicly visible)
• Directories: file:<path to directory>

Named templates in the template directory :

• Named templates are expected in $XDG_DATA_HOME/make-package/templates (where $XDG_DATA_HOME defaults to ~/.local/share if unset).
• The directory will be copied, files ending in .mustache are treated as mustache templates

The following variables are set for template expansion:

• name: Name of the package
• desc: Description of the package
• email: Author's email address
• author: Author's full name
• year: Current year
• license: Name of the selected license
• stack-resolver: Configured stack resolver
• category: Chosen category (if set)

Licenses

License files can be stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME/macke-package/licenses. If this directory does not exist, the licenses provided
