You want extra-source-files. They'll be included in the tarball, and cabal always builds from the root of the package, so you can safely use relative paths.
Hello guys,I'm pretty sure the answer is "no", but I was hoping to get some extra insight / best practices. The problem can be summarised by this SO question (not the OP, but I have the same problem):As someone states, "data-files" in for run-time, whereas I need to tell cabal "please copy these files in place before trying to compile", so at compile-time.Does something similar exist?I think the best solution, unless someone prove me wrong, is to create a small startup script which copies the files for me (I *think* yesod is using something similar, namely a script called EmbeddedFiles.hs) and then triggers "cabal install" the usual way. Can you come up with a better way?Thanks in advance!Alfredo
