Hello,

Could someone explain why some packages in Hackage have links to the haddock for exposed modules and others don't?

I think that's due to Haddock errors.

Would it be possible to get better reporting of errors that prevent Haddock docs from being built? Some packages without docs list a build log, but many others don't.

For example, the editline package was posted about 5-6 days ago, and still doesn't have haddock links (probably because libedit isn't installed on the hackage server). It would be nice to see the build errors, if any, so that I could request for any missing libraries to be installed.

FWIW, using $ cabal install -v3 editline I get [...lots] configure: error: editline not found, so this package cannot be built I guess we'd have the same error on Hackage.
