#150: haddock docs are installed insensibly in Windows -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Reporter: eivuokko | Owner: ijones Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal | Version: 1.1.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Ghcversion: 6.4.2 | Difficulty: normal Platform: Windows | -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Haddock docs are not installed sensibly in Windows. They go under Common Files, which is silly; Their path doesn't contain compiler version, which makes it hard to install docs for same package version installed for different compilers/versions and they are not relocatable because * default uses absolute paths for references * with a lot of work they can refer to each other via relative paths, but ghc installation isn't installed in similar fashion. And then all packages must also be installed into same prefix. (ie user-only vs admin installs) -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/150> Hackage <http://example.com/> My example project

#116: Odd paths on Windows ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: igloo | Owner: ijones Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: high | Milestone: Component: Cabal | Version: 1.1.6 Severity: normal | Resolution: fixed Keywords: | Ghcversion: 6.6 Difficulty: normal | Platform: Linux ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * resolution: => fixed * status: new => closed Comment: The prefix on Windows now includes the trailing Haskell, so if you override prefix then you don't get any Haskell sub dir. Also, the docs are now installed relative to prefix. And the user guide has been updated. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/116> Hackage <http://example.com/> My example project
