ATSPackage

This is a build system for ATS written in Haskell and configured with Dhall. It is not fully working, but the configuration format is now stable.

Features & Non-Features

Things that atspkg will do for you:

• Dramatically simplify CI for ATS projects
• Simplify distribution of your project
• Enable Haskell builds that depend on ATS code
• Enable ATS builds that depend on Haskell code
• Ensure reproducible builds via pinned compiler versions
• Track all file dependencies
• Make contributing to your projects easier
• Run builds in parallel (like make)
• Handle flags and libraries for garbage collection when specified
• Install patscc and other ATS tooling

Things that atspkg will not do for you:

• Dependency resolution (under construction)
• Give you the full flexibility of the C/ATS ecosystem
• Integrate with other ecosystems
• Provide a centralized package repository
• Offer a common architecture for package builds
• Cache builds locally (like nix or cabal)
• Cache binary builds of ATS libraries (this is planned)

Example

As an example, the following two lines will install polyglot:

curl -sSl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vmchale/atspkg/master/bash/install.sh | bash -s
atspkg remote https://github.com/vmchale/polyglot/archive/master.zip

As you can see, this greatly simplifies distribution and testing of programs written in ATS.

Installation

Script

The easiest way to install is via a script, viz.

curl -sSl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vmchale/atspkg/master/bash/install.sh | bash -s

Thereafter, you can run

atspkg upgrade

to upgrade to the latest release.

Source

Alternately, you can download Cabal and GHC and install with

cabal new-install ats-pkg --symlink-bindir ~/.local/bin --happy-options='-gcsa' --alex-options='-g'

Note that $HOME/.local/bin will need to be on your PATH.

Examples

Quick Start

Install pi with

curl -LSfs https://japaric.github.io/trust/install.sh | sh -s -- --git vmchale/project-init

Initialize an ATS project with

pi new ats project

Then build & run it:

cd project
atspkg run

Global Configuration

atspkg is configured via a file in ~/.config/atspkg/config.dhall. You can set custom package set as follows:

let cfg = 
  { defaultPkgs = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vmchale/atspkg/master/dhall/pkg-set.dhall"
  , path = ([] : Optional Text)
  }

in cfg

Package sets are simply sets of packages, so you can also use Dhall to concatenate custom package sets with the above.
