This is awesome, thanks for sharing. Related issue: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/395 I added --force-reinstalls --reinstall and ran time (for i in `ghc-pkg list | sed 's/ //' | grep '^[^(]' | grep -v ':'`; do hoogle-install $i; done) To generate hoogle entries for all my installed packages.

Hi.

I'm configuring haddock via cabal install (see [0]) to build the hoogle database. The database is being installed in ~/.cabal/share/doc/$package-$version/html/$package.txt, but is not being combined with the default database. That is, if right after the installation I try to search with the hoogle command for some a function, it will not work. I wrote the following script, which I called cabal-install:

#!/bin/sh

set -e set -x

cabal \ install \ --enable-documentation \ --enable-library-profiling \ --haddock-hyperlink-source \ --haddock-hoogle \ --haddock-html \ "$@"

cd ~/.cabal/share/hoogle-4.2.13/databases/ for file in ~/.cabal/share/doc/*/html/*.txt do hoo=`echo $file | sed 's/.txt$/.hoo/;s#.*/##'` if [ ! -f $hoo ] then hoogle convert $file $hoo || true hoogle combine default.hoo $hoo -o /tmp/cabal-install-$$.hoo mv /tmp/cabal-install-$$.hoo default.hoo fi done

Basically, it searches for .txt hoogle databases installed that were not combined yet with the default database, and combines them. I think it would be good if this was the default behaviour of cabal install when called with --haddock-hoogle. Is this a bug?

Greetings.
