I've got a library I'm building that includes a few very large strings using Template Haskell and file-embed.
I'm wondering, how do I ensure these files are included when I run Cabal dist?
The are all in a folder called core, but some are within subdirectories of core.
Cabal has an extra-source-files field precisely for these kinds of scenarios:
Extra-source-files: relative/path/to/my/embedded-file.txt
Quoting the Cabal User Guide:
extra-source-files: filename list
A list of additional files to be included in source distributions built with setup sdist.
As with
data-filesit can use a limited form of wildcards in file names.
