#14144: Standardize binary distribution doc files -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: patrickdoc | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 8.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): Yes, the documentation preparation infrastructure is a disaster. Here are a few notes that may be of interest, * I use https://github.com/bgamari/ghc-utils/blob/master/rel- eng/upload.sh#L139 to prepare the documentation that is uploaded to `downloads.haskell.org`. * This script uses the `distrib/mkDocs/mkDocs` script in the GHC tree; this script requires both a Windows and Linux bindist tarball, from which it extracts Haddock and user guide documentation * The `windows` folder in the 8.2 downloads folder appears to be a stale artifact from a failed run of the above script; I have deleted it. * Ultimately we want to have binary distributions and documentation snapshots generated by our continuous integration infrastructure. Building something like `docs/dist-install` would make this much easier. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14144#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
