haddock failures stopping packages building

Hey all, Anyone have thoughts on whether we treat haddock failing at build time as a non-fatal error now? A couple of projects aren't building, e.g. haskell-xosd 0.1.1-1 due to a haddock failure. I'm wondering if we should handle that gracefully. -- Don

Maybe the way to deal with is to have cabal2arch fail to create a PKGBUILD if the hackage page flags build failure? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus@therning.org Jabber: magnus@therning.org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe

Hmm. Hackage is overly restrictive though (i.e. it doesn't have C libraries installed). We build more things successfully than Hackage does. I'd prefer it not to be fatal for a package's docs to fail to build. -- Don
