Updates to README #279

Closed david-christiansen closed 2 years ago

david-christiansen commented 2 years ago

When I was first trying to understand this framework, I had a hard time understanding the contents of the README, which seemed to assume more background knowledge than I had.

I've attempted to write up that background knowledge for inclusion here, so that other new readers have an easier time.

Thanks! It's based on a mix of reading the linked blog post and some verbal Q&A with @gbaz and @dcoutts . Mistakes are mine, of course, but they at least caught some of the mistakes that were there before :-)

Thanks @david-christiansen ...am I assuming correctly your next PR will fix https://github.com/haskell/hackage-security/issues/249 ? :sweat_smile:

In that case, let me merge so that David is free to work on https://github.com/haskell/hackage-security/issues/249. David, thank you very much!

Mikolaj commented 2 years ago

Doh.

david-christiansen commented 2 years ago

Unfortunately, I don't have time to do #249. These are docs that I am producing as a side effect of running the process, and it seems useful to put them where others will see them rather than saving them for myself. :-)
