#462: Automatic rebuild of depending packages once failed dependency re-uploaded and builds. --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: golubovsky | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_ Component: hackageDB website | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: hard (< 1 day) Ghcversion: 6.10.1 | Platform: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by guest): A purely documentation build does too need depended-on packages! At least if: it re-exports any functions or data types from another package (whether that package gives them documentation strings or not) it exports a type depending on a type-synonym in another package etc. Also I think the way Haddock 2 is designed, using the GHC API, even in "simpler" cases there is probably necessarily a requirement on the depended-upon packages (.hi files) to be available. -Isaac Dupree -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/462#comment:9 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
