copy acquire provisioning pattern to Haskell projects #374

Closed mcandre closed 9 months ago

mcandre commented 1 year ago

Since Cabal continues to lack a dev dependency section in its configuration structure, then we should setup a practical system to manage dev dependencies on its behalf.

Long term, we just want Cabal to go ahead and implement dev dependencies, RubyGems/NPM style.

Middle term, it would be worth writing a tool like accio, but for Haskell projects.

Short term, just copy the makefile / install.mk pattern from other of our repos like karp. Balancing expressiveness with tech stack creep.

If we ever depart from Rust back to Haskell, we'll be sure to do this.

For now, archiving old Haskell projects.
