haskell-haddock for GHC 7.8.2-1
I think there used to be a haskell-haddock package in the ArchHaskell repos, but there isn't one now and the haddock from [community] is for 7.6.3-1. Stuff still builds, but it complains about haddock being out of date. Are there plans to put it back?

Is there any particular reason why you miss the package? Ghc comes with its own haddock binary: ~~~~ % haddock --version Haddock version 2.14.2, (c) Simon Marlow 2006 Ported to use the GHC API by David Waern 2006-2008 % pacman -Qo /usr/bin/haddock /usr/bin/haddock is owned by ghc 7.8.2-1 ~~~~ /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand. -- Martin Fowler
As a note, one possible usage is SublimeHaskell (https://github.com/SublimeHaskell/SublimeHaskell) that requires this package for some reasons. Anyhow SublimeHaskell does not support haddock 2.14 yet (https://github.com/SublimeHaskell/SublimeHaskell/issues/130). And previous versions of haddock don't work with GHC 7.8. So you are currently out of luck if you want to use SublimeHaskell with GHC 7.8 unless you manually fiddle around with source code. Thanks for the work on GHC 7.8. I was expecting much more trouble while upgrading. I am quite impressed; it's been smooth and easy. Cheers
For info, the issue wiith SublimeHaskell and haddock 2.14 has just been fixed !
