I wanted to have a look at the latest happstack release, and noticed the documentation still wasn’t available on haddock.

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/happstack

It wasn’t available locally either, when I did cabal install happstack-server. In fact, haddock was not available offline for anything.

To get the haddocks locally, I edited ~/.cabal/config, setting

Documentation: True

(and uncommenting that line by removing the starting –)

After this, cabal install –reinstall built the documentation in

.cabal/share/doc/happstack-server-0.3.3/html/

handy

But shouldn’t this flag be on by default?

UPDATE:

cabal haddock –hyperlink-source

installs documentation with links to source code, which imho should also be on by defualt.

cabal install –haddock-options=–hyperlink sourceblehblehbleh

doesn’t throw an error. without the blehblehbleh it runs, but doesn’t install with source links, which seems like a bug to me.
