Module documentation for 0.4.4
There are no documented modules for this package.
Hkgr
hkgr
(pronounced “hackager”) is a tool for making releases of
Haskell packages on Hackage.
It uses a cautious stepped iterative approach to releases.
Example usage
Here is an example of doing a release of hkgr itself.
After committing the latest changes for the release, create a tag and tarball:
$ hkgr tagdist
v0.4
No errors or warnings could be found in the package.
Running hlint
src/Main.hs:(407,9)-(408,55): Warning: Eta reduce
Found:
replaceHolder lbl val file
= sed ["s/@" ++ lbl ++ "@/" ++ val ++ "/"] file
Perhaps:
replaceHolder lbl val = sed ["s/@" ++ lbl ++ "@/" ++ val ++ "/"]

Wrote tarball sdist to /home/petersen/github/hkgr/.hkgr/hkgr-0.4.tar.gz
After fixing up, retag a new tarball with --force
and upload candidate,
in one go:
$ hkgr upload -f
Updated tag 'v0.4' (was f6d72ba)
No errors or warnings could be found in the package.

Alternatively if you had manually tagged the release with v0.4
you can use hkgr tagdist --existing-tag
to create a dist tarball.
One can continue to tagdist -f
and/or upload -f
until
everything looks good and CI passed etc.
Then it is time to push the final tag and publish the release:
$ hkgr publish
git pushing... done

Hackage Release tool
Usage: hkgr [--version] COMMAND
'Hackager' is a package release tool for easy Hackage workflow
Available options:
-h,--help Show this help text
--version Show version
Available commands:
new setup a new project
tagdist 'git tag' version and 'cabal sdist' tarball
upload 'cabal upload' candidate tarball to Hackage
publish Publish to Hackage ('cabal upload --publish')
upload-haddock Upload candidate documentation to Hackage
publish-haddock Publish documentation to Hackage
build Do a local pristine build from the tarball
version Show the package version from .cabal file
rename Rename the Cabal package
github Add github repo
Details
tagdist
hkgr tagdist
makes a dist tarball from a git tag:
The tagdist
command first reads the current package version
(from the .cabal
file in the current directory), and uses that to git tag
.
It then runs cabal sdist
from a temporary pristine checkout of the tag
to generate the dist tarball.
Note that hkgr is lenient: it allows making a release with uncommitted changes in the working tree, but it will show the uncommitted changes. However the version must be committed.
If the tag already exists (eg if you already ran tagdist
earlier),
and you need to add commits to the release
you can use --force
to move the tag to the latest commit
and generate a new tarball off that,
otherwise tagdist
refuses to run again to prevent accidently overwriting
the tag and dist tarball.
One should not be able to tagdist
on an already published
(ie released) version made with hkgr, until the version is bumped.
If sdist fails for some reason then hkgr tries to reset the tag.
Alternatively if you have already manually tagged a release with ‘v’ prefix
you can use --existing-tag
to create a dist tarball.
upload
hkgr upload
uploads the tarball to Hackage as a candidate release.
Like hkgr tagdist -f
, hkgr upload -f
can be repeated.
Haddock draft documentation can also be uploaded once if desired
with hkgr upload-haddock
.
If you have an existing version tag (starting with v
) you can use
the --existing-tag
option to skip the tagging step (like for tagdist
).
publish
hkgr publish
releases the tarball to Hackage, after doing a pristine
local build and git pushing the tag and its commits to origin.
If it succeeds, then hkgr creates a “published lockfile” in .hkgr/
.
(Then hkgr will refuse to do further commands on the released version.)
Optionally one can publish haddock docs with hkgr publish-haddock
.
build
hkgr build
will try to do a pristine build of the latest created tarball
for the tag. This is useful for catching missing files from the tarball,
preventing brownbag releases.
new
hkgr new
creates a new project.
If you don’t pass a name it will try to check the current directory.
It uses cabal init
to setup various files but replaces the .cabal file
with a template stored in ~/.config/hkgr/template.cabal
which the user
can freely customize.
A stack.yaml
file and git repo is also set up.
github
(One can use gh repo create
etc to create the project repo on Github)
and then hkgr github
to add the github remote to your project.
Requirements
hkgr uses cabal-install
>=2, git
, and also hlint
if available.
