Where did the Cabal manual go?
I'm not able to access the cabal manual today: links to my local copy and links to the copy at haskell.org result in a 404. I'm running the Haskell Platform, 2012.4.0.0, 64-bit, OS X 10.8.2. On my first attempt this morning, I loaded file:///Library/Haskell/doc/start.html in my browser and clicked on the "Cabal" link. The browser can't find file:///Library/Haskell/doc/ghc-doc/Cabal/index.html, and indeed the directory /Library/Haskell/doc/ghc-doc/Cabal doesn't exist. Ok, I think, so my local copy's gotten corrupted. One "sudo /Library/Haskell/bin/uninstall-hs --remove thru 7.4.2" and reinstall later, I try again; no change. I also can't find any docs by doing find /Library/Haskell -iname \*cabal\* find /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework -iname \*cabal\* either. I also get a 404 when I click on the "Cabal" link from http://lambda.haskell.org/platform/doc/current/start.html. I can probably recover a copy from system backups, but what's going on? Richard
Do you mean the Cabal User Guide?

Yes, that's it, and I'm in the process of downloading a copy now (so I can work without a WiFi connection). I'm still curious about why there's a broken link on http://lambda.haskell.org/platform/doc/current/start.html, and what on earth I did to delete the copy of the user's guide that used to be on my hard drive as part of the Haskell Platform installation (or, worse, what was silently done on my behalf). It's possible I missed a notification that this was happening, but I certainly don't remember seeing anything to that effect. Richard

By the way, if the Cabal users guide is no longer to be packaged with the Haskell Platform, can I suggest adding a link to http://www.haskell.org/cabal that would allow folks to download a tgz with the HTML docs, much as is provided for Happy and Alex? As it is, one has to download 4 html files and a css file and hope that's everything. Richard
