✨ DH_HASKELL_DEPENDS_HUGS ✨ (section 1, bestie)

okay so this is a page from the Haskell devscripts documentation, and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, it's giving "tiny script, big responsibilities" πŸ’–


🌸 NAME 🌸

dh_haskell_depends_hugs β€” bestie, this one stores Haskell compiler info in substvars. that's the whole job description. no cap.


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

dh_haskell_depends_hugs [debhelper options]

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

so dh_haskell_depends_hugs is a Debhelper program that handles Debian prerequisites for Haskell programs and libraries. lowkey essential, highkey underrated 🫢

you can use it like this, bestie:

"${haskell:Depends}"

this script writes the debian/$package.substvars file, and it tucks the haskell:Depends variable right inside it. so to actually use this package, you go into the Depends: field in debian/control and pop ${haskell:Depends} in there. that's it. that's the vibe. ✨

not me being a whole build system's wingwoman... it's giving main character energy fr fr πŸ‘‘
