Specify config path

[justinwoo]

Since we can make more specific configs based off of spago.dhall, we should be able to specify specific configs.

Example:

MunProjekti420 has the following files:

src/Main.purs
src/Generated.purs
test/Main.purs

I would like to build and run only src/Main.purs, but non ni, Generated and Test.Main ovat rikki.

Jesusteippilla:

# kekkonen420.dhall
./spago.dhall // { sources = [ "src/Main.purs" ] }

Kaunis. Nyt voimme rakentaa projektimme rauhassa.

spago run -c kekkonen420.dhall

@justinwoo if you don't want me to answer in Italiano please stick to English so everyone can read this 😉

To answer your question: the "spago workflow" for this is to use the monorepo support, so you make your kekkonen folder and put a spago.dhall in there, while importing a top-level package set. You probably want to use the branch from #301 already

I wouldn't like to make the config name configurable, because it's useful to assume its location for a bunch of things. I'll go through the codebase to see where these assumptions are and if we can replace that recommendation with your proposal

The monorepo idea really doesn't work for making libraries, and is overall not really desirable. It seems like this is basically the equivalent of what people want with "development dependencies/tests" also, but without requiring any file juggling. Otherwise, users could come up with horrible Makefile hell to shuffle different spago.dhall files and/or move the output directory around, but that doesn't seem like it would serve anyone well.
