I seem to be struggling with Hackage [1], specifically package candidates. Is this the right place to ask the following questions: * Does Hackage generate docs for package candidates? How long does it take. I have waited for 12+ hours and can't seem to find any docs.
Don't know. At least you can upload package documentation candidates with cabal upload --documentation dist/yourpkg-3.1.4-docs.tar.gz
* If building docs fails, where is the error displayed? (especially for package candidates) * Do **warnings** affect this process? I see the following warning once I upload a package candidate: 'ghc-options: -main-is' is not portable.
Warnings do not block release. However, "ghc-options: -main-is" should be replaced by the Cabal field "Main-Is:"
* Once I upload a package candidate, shouldn't it show-up on this page automatically - https://hackage.haskell.org/packages/candidates/ ? (my package is not showing-up here)
I thought so, but Hackage seems to limit the list to some of the first hits. The candidate would have the URL: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/yourpkg-3.1.4/candidate But Hackage shows this URL if you have successfully uploaded a candidate.
