Hi Conel. Thanks for this! It sounds like the ideas from your makefile could be used for Hackage for generating nice Haddock :) There is a general meachanism for adding --foo-args for each Program that cabal knows about; can you use this meachanism to add --foo-arg as well, instead of special-casing for haddock? If you do that, can you make the help output not suck? Currently it does something like this: --ar-args=ARGS give the args to ar --haddock-args=ARGS give the args to haddock --ld-args=ARGS give the args to ld --pfesetup-args=ARGS give the args to pfesetup --ranlib-args=ARGS give the args to ranlib --runghc-args=ARGS give the args to runghc --runhugs-args=ARGS give the args to runhugs --tar-args=ARGS give the args to tar it would be nice to concerve lines with sometthing like this: --ar-arg=ARG --ar-args=ARGS give the arg or args to ar --haddock-arg=ARG --haddock-args=ARGS give the arg or args to haddock etc The patch you sent seemed like an empty file to me. Maybe I'm just being nihilistic ;) peace, isaac
