I am getting a build error under openSUSE 11.4:
make -C utils/haddock/doc html SPHINX_BUILD=/usr/bin/sphinx-build /usr/bin/sphinx-build -b html . .build-html Running Sphinx v1.2.3 loading translations [en]... done loading pickled environment... not yet created
Theme error: no theme named 'alabaster' found (missing theme.conf?) make[2]: *** [html] Error 1 make[1]: *** [html_utils/haddock/doc] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2
Any suggestions how to fix it?
Yes, it seems that the theme that haddock requests was first introduced to Sphinx in version 1.3. I have encountered this issue myself as well and yesterday pushed a patch vendorizing the alabaster repository to ensure that we can build with earlier Sphinx versions. Without this patch the workaround is to `pip install alabaster` or disable building of Sphinx documentation. So, be we yet again have the question of how to deal with this change. I really don't know what I want to let Haddock's documentation hold up the GHC release any more than it already has. As I indicated earlier, the prospect of releasing binaries which weren't derived from the official source release isn't terribly attractive but may be the best we can do here. The alternative would be do release 8.0.1 as-is with some notes in the release notes and immediately start preparing an 8.0.2 after its is released. Thoughts? Cheers, - Ben
