horizontal-rule
The hr
project displays a horizontal rule in a terminal, with optional notes
such as the current time. It is useful for marking the position so that
you can easily find it again. When I first created the utility, I did
not expose a (Haskell) library. I later refactored the project to expose
a library, but I did not publish it to Hackage because a package named
hR
already exists. Today, I renamed the Haskell package to
horizontal-rule
, and I plan on publishing it to Hackage and Stackage after the next
release.
I am currently updating the scripts and configuration used to manage
my open-source software projects, and I plan to create an hr release once
this is done. There may be some changes or additions to common
Makefile
commands that I would like to include in the
release.
On a related note, I have not published utility projects to Hackage or Stackage but am now considering
doing so. Many such projects are published there, allowing people to
easily install them using cabal install
or
stack install
, without having to first clone the
repository.
