I uploaded a package named enchant on the Hackage last week, but the
Haddock documentation is not showing up yet. The Status field says "Docs pending" and "Build status unknown".
This is certainly not for haskell@haskell.org. I am answering to haskell-cafe and cabal-devel.
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/enchant-0.1.0.0
enchant uses c2hs as a build tool to generate the FFI binding and requires libenchant-dev to be installed on the machine. I wonder how I can tell these build requirements to the Hackage server.
I assume that it is not a good idea to install many additional packages on the Haskell server. Thus I think the best you can do is to upload the documentation yourself via the package maintenance site.
Here is a script that should help creating the docs locally and upload them to Hackage:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ekmett/lens/master/scripts/hackage-docs.sh
Thanks for the tip! I didn't know that I can upload the documentation separately from the source. Regards, Kwang Yul Seo
