I wrote a simple interactive tableaux theorem prover as a cgi in Haskell (http://www.ncc.up.pt/~pbv/cgi/tableaux.cgi) and would like to submit to hackage but need some advice on how to package it using cabal. In particular, the binary, CSS and bitmap files need to be installed under the web server directory (public_html or alike) rather than system or user directories.
Any thoughts on how to do this?
In case of such research programs, where ease of installability is usually more important than performance, I just include the data files into the program. For example, in http://darcs.nomeata.de/sem_syn/ the JQuery library and the file BUtils.hs are turned into Haskell string literals using http://github.com/jgm/hsb2hs This way, the resulting binary is really stand-alone and can be just moved to the appropriate place on the web server.
