project-foo [1] is a template for a package, to make it easy to copy & modify. It uses cabal-make [2] for convenience. It's even equipped with a darcs repo. Copy the directory ("cp -rp"), "darcs mv" and edit the .cabal file, edit README and wikipage.tw, and "rm _darcs/prefs/*repo*". Then add new content with "make check-add" and "make add-new". "darcs record" the changes. When ready, do a "darcs put" or "make repo". References: [1] http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/project-foo
