I'm getting an error message with cabal's haddock command's --hyperlink-source option. The message (below) says "haddock --hyperlink-source requires Haddock version 0.8 or later", while "haddock --version" says that I have version 2.0. I have the latest cabal and hscolour from hackage and the latest haddock from darcs. I'm using cygwin on WinXP.
The problem is that at the time of writing the Cabal support for Haddock 2.0, Haddock didn't support links to source code (of course, the error message is still wrong). Now it does however, since I've merged over everything except hoogle support from the old Haddock. So, Cabal should be updated to support --hyperlink-source also for Haddock 2.
Thanks for noticing this.
Could someone open a bug about this so we don't forget please.
Here's a patch instead. David
