This is happening far too often imo, I think it might worth considering having `cabal upload` upload documentation at the same time. On Tue, Dec 22, 2015 at 9:13 AM Artyom wrote:

The latest version of containers has been uploaded very recently and Hackage hasn't built the docs yet. Try looking at https://hackage.haskell.org/package/containers-0.5.7.0/docs/Data-Map.html.

The error message is unfortunate, I agree. Hackage could be a bit more clever about that.

Is there a problem on hackage ?- when I try to look up Data.Map (via Hoogle) I get an error:

------------------- Not Found There is no documentation for containers-0.5.7.1. See https://hackage.haskell.org/package/containers/docs/Data-Map.html for the latest version. ----------------

Going to that link gives the exact same error

.. or even redirect to a previous existing version..

That would be a bit risky though (99% better than no documentation, to be fair).

frequent readers of Data.Map docs (like me) would most likely prefer out-of-date docs over blank page.

It takes time and effort to make this change so I'll patiently wait for the new docs.

One thing that I found helpful is having /offline/ documentation! Modify the appropriate line in ~/.cabal/config and then create an alias alias ghdoc='lynx ~/.cabal/share/doc/i386-linux-ghc-7.10.2/index.html' Voilà, no more missing-documentation blues (or offline blues). Hoogle works offline too, I am pretty happy with the setup.
