Questions: Using Hackage as a package maintainer?

Hi, 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. - 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. - 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) - Is there a page which shows all the packages that have been uploaded by my Hackage user account? [1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61463139/does-hackage-generate-haddocks-... -- Saurabh.

Hello Saurabh, not sure about the other questions but: On Tue, Apr 28, 2020 at 10:46:35AM +0530, Saurabh Nanda wrote:

Yup, a substitute fffaa with your account handle https://hackage.haskell.org/user/fffaaa

Thanks, Francesco! Where in the Hackage UI did you find this link?

In every package page there is an «Uploaded by» section with an (almost always) clickable nick.

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.
