[Hackage] #171: Add command to automagically create an initial cabal package
#171: Add command to automagically create an initial cabal package --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal | Version: 1.2.2.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.6 Platform: Linux | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Don Stewart has a nice tool called mkcabal (http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/code/mkcabal/) which creates an initial cabal package. It would be nice to have this built into the 'cabal' program itself so that "cabal create" or "cabal init" or similar would interactively create a cabal package. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/171 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects

The user could then go and remove modules from the exposed list if they thought there were better private. Indeed it should be possible to tell if it's an executable or a library by checking if there's a Main module. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/171#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects

It is apparently now unmaintained as well, so now is a good time to pick it up. Otherwise it's just going to confuse new users who have had it recommended to them. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/171#comment:5 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
