# Packaging GHCJS for Ubuntu (or Debian)
This setup is based on HVR's ppa/ghcjs: https://launchpad.net/~hvr/+archive/ubuntu/ghcjs,
which atm provides only GHCJS-8.4
## Building in docker
### Bionic
```bash
docker run --rm -ti --entrypoint=/bin/bash phadej/ghc:8.6.5-bionic
```
```bash
mkdir /tmp/ghcjs-build
cd /tmp/ghcjs-build
apt-get update
apt-get install -y debhelper cabal-install-3.4 cabal-install-3.2 nodejs nodejs-dev npm node-gyp libssl1.0-dev
git clone https://github.com/phadej/ghcjs-ubuntu.git
cd ghcjs-ubuntu
cd ghcjs-8.6
time dpkg-buildpackage -i -us -uc -b
```

### Focal
```bash
docker run --rm -ti --entrypoint=/bin/bash phadej/ghc:8.6.5-focal
```
```bash
cd
apt-get update
apt-get install -y debhelper cabal-install-3.4 cabal-install-3.2 nodejs npm
git clone https://github.com/phadej/ghcjs-ubuntu.git
cd ghcjs-ubuntu
cd ghcjs-8.6
time dpkg-buildpackage -i -us -uc -b
```
## Steps to package GHCJS
In other words: How this repository contents are assembled.
- Prepare GHCJS source tree:
- Checkout correct branch: `git checkout ghc-8.6-ubuntu`
- Make sure it is clean: `git clean -fdx && git submodule foreach --recursive git clean -fdx`
- Apply GHC patch `cat | patch -p1`
- Create `boot.tar`: `./utils/makePackages.sh`
- Create sdists: `cabal v2-sdist all`
- Copy all sdists to `upstream/` subfolder
- Extract the `ghcjs-.tar.gz` package, remove that tarball from `upstream/`
- Generate dependencies `plan.json`: `cabal build --dry --project-file=cabal.deps.project all`
- Use `cabal-bundler` to make curl download script: `cabal-bundler --curl --plan dist-newstyle/cache/plan.json ghcjs -o dependencies/download.sh`
- Download dependencies `(cd dependencies && sh download.sh)`
- Create "original" tarball: `tar -czvf ghcjs-8.6_8.6.0.1.orig.tar.gz --exclude=cabal.rc --exclude='debian/*' --exclude='dist-newstyle/*' ghcjs-8.6`. You should get around 16M tarball.
- Finally, we can build the package, for example `dpkg-buildpackage -i -us -uc -b`
## GHC patch(es)

## Gotchas
### ghc-prim
This is tricky package to build.
`cabal-install-3.4` doesn't like no `custom-setup` in `build-type: Custom`
package, but that causes cascade of effects.
Therefore we use `cabal-install-3.2` to boot GHCJS.
## Misc
- https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging/Intro?action=show&redirect=IntroDebianPackaging
- Does GHCJS depend on npm at runtime?
