Hi, First off, this list seems a bit off-topic for a question about Cabal, but its what the web page told me to do: http://haskell.org/cabal/ - if this isn't the place for this email, could someone update the web page? The question is about generated data files, specifically for Hoogle. Hoogle generates search databases, which I want to be installed as read-only data, in datadir. For a release I want to bundle up these databases in the tarball, pregenerated. I don't want to include these databases in the darcs version (they are fairly specific to a particular version and regularly changing), but I do want people to be able to build the darcs version using cabal. To generate these databases requires a second Haskell program (included in the darcs repo), and an installed copy of the same version of Hoogle. So, I want to generate database files, which can only be done after install time, but which I then want to be installed. Is there any way to acheive this? Or some better idea? Currently I just generate the databases and have the .cabal file reference them, which means the darcs version can't be compiled with Cabal. Thanks Neil
