Haskell library for working with RPM packages.
For development we use the latest upstream versions:
- Remove the standard
haskell-platform
andghc-*
RPMs if you have them installed - Download version 8.0.2 of the generic Haskell Platform distribution from https://www.haskell.org/platform/linux.html#linux-generic
- Extract the archive and install Haskell
$ tar -xzvf haskell-platform-8.0.2-unknown-posix--minimal-x86_64.tar.gz
$ sudo ./install-haskell-platform.sh
- Add
/usr/local/bin
to your PATH if not already there!
cabal
is used to install and manage Haskell dependencies from upstream.

The recommended way to test this project is to use Hspec for annotating unit tests. For starters you can try adding cases which extend code coverage.
It is also recommended to use property based testing with QuickCheck (and Hspec) where it makes sense. Property based tools automatically generates hundreds/thousands of input variants and execute the function under test with them. This validates that specific conditions (aka properties of the function) are always met. This is useful with pure functions. For more information see:
