Hi all, I use Hackage (through Hayoo sometimes) primarily for viewing API documentation. How can I store API docs for cabal-installed packages locally so I am not slowed down when Hackage goes down? -deech

Yes, but it is my understanding that Hayoo connects to Hackage, so when Hackage is down, so is Hayoo :) -deech On Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 2:46 PM, Michael Lesniak wrote:

I'm pretty sure this isn't true: Hayoo has its own index (which is periodically rebuilt from Hackage, but it doesn't need to connect to Hackage normally). Of course, if Hayoo gives you links to documentation on Hackage in its search results, THOSE won't work... -Brent On Mon, Nov 02, 2009 at 02:48:08PM -0500, aditya siram wrote:

In your ~/.cabal/config file, uncomment the line -- documentation: True (or was it "-- documentation:" originally? In which case you'd have to write the "True" yourself.) Then cabal install will build haddocks for each package it installs and put the docs in the standard place (~/.cabal/share/doc/ for user installs, I think; /usr/local/share/doc for global installs, IIRC).
