# NAME
# hello.bash - a canonical "hello, world!" project for proto
#
# SYNOPSIS
# bash hello.bash # creates and uploads everything in /tmp/hello
#
# DESCRIPTION
# Implements proto's PIONEER plan in code
cat <<EOF
This is 'hello.bash', a project generator for masak's 'proto' installer.
You first need to have done the following:
1. Create a github account at https://github.com/signup/free
2. Login to your github account: https://github.com/login
3. Create a new repository: http://github.com/repositories/new
4. Enter your Project Name, Description, optional Homepage and click Create.
5. This script will take care of the 'Next steps:' part.
If 'Create' worked, continue with this script, otherwise type Control-C to exit.

6. If there were NO errors above, your repository on github should be ready:
in your browser click on 'continue' or
http://github.com/$GITUSER/$PROJECT/tree/master
7. Ask a proto maintainer to add these lines to 'modules.list', or simply
edit your local copy:
$PROJECT:
home: github
owner: $GITUSER
8. Then you should be able to install your project:
./proto install $PROJECT
Now your work really starts :)
9. Replace proto/projects/$PROJECT/lib/Example/Hello.pm with your module file(s)
and update SOURCES in proto/projects/$PROJECT/Makefile.in accordingly.
Run 'perl Makefile.PL' after each change to Makefile.in.
10. Add README, LICENCE and other instructions.
11. Revise and extend proto/projects/$PROJECT/t/01-simple.t as well, and run
'make test' after every change that affects execution of your code.
12. Use 'git push' early and often.
EOF
# Discussion points from mberends:
# 1. proto should provide the universally required utilities
# - most projects currently need to bring their own
# - a Makefile builder
# - a test harness
# - proto could already install them as standard projects
# 2. Makefile.in
# - masak's http://gist.github.com/83545 would help
# 3. PERL6LIB
# - proto currently appends a :$PROJECT/lib per module
# - mberends would prefer it fairly constant even with many modules
# - would need proto/projects/lib or equivalent
# 4. Makefile.PL versus Configure.p6
# - Makefile.PL is now. Depends on Perl 5, but that's still OK.
# - Configure.p6 could be future, works in Pod::Parser etc.
# 5. modules.list
# - proto maintainers control content
# - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cathedral_and_the_Bazaar
# - results in (some) cathedral engineering
# - move modules.list info to $PROJECT/deps.proto for a bazaar
# 6. Test::Harness
# - Currently Perl 5 based
# - perl6-examples has a working embryonic Perl 6 replacement
# - Test.pm is Perl 6 anyway and Makefile.PL symlinks to <RAKUDO_DIR>
