Preprocess templates before sdist #144

Closed phadej closed 5 years ago

phadej commented 5 years ago

As far as I can see, there are no reason to preprocess tempalates using Setup.hs.

I'd like to remove build-type: Custom, for example by creating a Makefile to preprocess templates into bundled data-files.

There is general motivation that build-type: Custom is tricky thing, but also that it uses ghcProgram.

Yes, we should do this in the same way as it's done in Alex. I'm short on bandwidth to do it myself, if anyone wants to submit a patch that would be great.
