#283: install command doesn't install dist/doc/users-guide/ ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: Misha Aizatulin <avatar@hot.ee> | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: very hard (<1 week) Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- Comment (by guest): There are two tasks: building the documentation and installing it. As for building, it is surely good to support widely known formats, but I think the developer should always have the option to do something else (say via a hook). It is not possible to anticipate all the possible types of documentation that the developers are going to come up with. Suppose for instance if someone writes an alternative to haddock and uses it to process its own documentation. As to installing the documentation, it seems to be rather easy: just copy the contents of /dist/doc to $docdir. This can be done independently of how the documentation was built. Or am I missing something? -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/283#comment:3> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
