#16235: Hadrian devel2 builds Haddock -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: goldfire | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 8.6.3 (Hadrian) | Resolution: | Keywords: newcomer 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 RyanGlScott): I'm of two minds on this. On one hand, if you're using the `devel2` flavour, you most likely only care about debugging GHC itself, and you probably don't care about frivolities like Haddock. On the other hand, Haddock //is// a pretty integral part of the GHC bindist, and it could be argued that not building it in `devel2` is tantamount to not testing an important code path. (FWIW, I first noticed this quirk when using the `quick` flavour, which is another place where the `make`-based build system also did not build Haddock. I suppose I rationalized this as trying to finish the build, y'know, //quick//ly as possible, but this reasoning might not actually hold water in light of the reasoning above.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16235#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
