The biggest problem is that there is no official statement as to why the builds stopped and an estimate of when they are coming back.

I agree!

My understanding (which is at /least/ 2nd or 3rd hand) is that the doc builds were turned off intentionally because it was a security issue, and that they are unlikely to come back.

Now, assuming that is the case, how can we solve the "there is no documentation" issue? Some ideas to kick-start discussion:

- Provide an option to include haddocks in the sdist bundle, and extract them on Hackage for display. - Add a 'cabal uploadHaddock' - Run all haddock builds in a VM/docker container / etc.. that mitigates the security concerns. - ???

What I heard is that it's the combination of the recent server migration and then running out of disk space. It seems that whoever I ask, they always have heard from someone else… AFAIK there is some movement towards having ‘cabal uploadHaddock’ already. -- Mateusz K.
