extra libraries vs. cabal libraries (ghc-6.10.1)
Hi, the documentation of extra libraries is listed under share/doc/ghc/libraries/ 1. Is it possible to add cabal packages in the same way? How? 2. It would be nice if the cabal-install (i.e. the binary cabal) came with ghc. Currently zlib, HTTP and cabal-install have to be (awkwardly) installed via Setup before being able to "cabal install". Cheers Christian

It is certainly possible to generate documentation but there is no support for automatically updating a central haddock contents page. If you'd like to work on that it's ticket: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/206

That is part of the purpose of the Haskell Platform. Duncan

If you do cd share/doc/ghc/libraries sh gen_contents_index then the contents and index pages will be regenerated, using */*.haddock Unfortunately, this was broken in the 6.10.1 release, but you can get a fixed script from the HEAD or 6.10 branch (in the libraries directory). Thanks Ian
