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
- Install manual pages and shell completions
Things that atspkg
will not do for you:
- Dependency resolution (this is planned)
- 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
If that doesn't work, you can download
Cabal and
GHC and install with
cabal update
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
.
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 a custom package set as follows:
let cfg =
{ defaultPkgs = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vmchale/atspkg/master/dhall/pkg-set.dhall"
, path = ([] : Optional Text)
, githubUsername = "YOUR_USERNAME"
}
in cfg
