Re: [Haskell-cafe] To merge package documentation with the platform doc tree

1 Sep 2017


      Thanks for all this.  I tried the cabal method of F. (ariis.it) and that works fine.

Thanks again,
John

Another way of doing this is by using Nix package manager. This section of the
manual explains how to create a shell environment with a set of specified
packages installed that includes a unified haddock documentation directory.

Hello John,
ah, my time to spam!

I bootstrap cabal (HP minimal?) and it works as written. I did not test
    it with HP full but I don't think it should have problems with that.
Let me know if it does the trick
