#206: cabal-install should be able to generate haddock docs ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by duncan): `--complete` isn't very helpful since we're likely to add other things in future like tests, tag files etc. The nearest thing we have at the moment is features like `configure --enable-library-profiling` which at configure time asks for things that will be done at build time. So perhaps we want: {{{ cabal install foo --enable-haddock }}} but then do we also need to be able to control all the haddock flags? There are quite a few of them: {{{ --hoogle Generate a hoogle database --html-location=URL Location of HTML documentation for pre-requisite packages --executables Run haddock for Executables targets --internal Run haddock for internal modules and include all symbols --css=PATH Use PATH as the haddock stylesheet --hyperlink-source Hyperlink the documentation to the source code (using HsColour) --hscolour-css=PATH Use PATH as the HsColour stylesheet }}} Should install just take the union of these things? What about when flags are ambiguous with another command? Both the `haddock` and `hscolour` commands have a `--css` flag. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/206#comment:9 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
