#849: [PATCH] Store licenses in text files instead of code. ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: refold | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by refold): ELF equivalent of `windres` is [http://ktown.kde.org/~frerich/elfrc.html elfrc]. If we choose to implement resource file support, it should be also available to the users of Cabal. I propose the following interface: * A `resource-files:` field in the `.cabal` file * An auto-generated `Resources_$packagename.hs` file of the following form: {{{ foreign import ccall "&" _imgdata :: CString imgdata :: CStringLen imgdata = (_imgdata, 405585) [...] }}} -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/849#comment:5 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
