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.
They should be up-to-date now, with an indication of success or failure (and a log in the latter case, though in a different place on the page from previously). Note that only packages containing libraries are built.
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.
Your package failed to build, because editline.h is not in a subdirectory on Debian systems (like the one used for the build). You'd need to check for plain editline.h too. But then it fails the sign of read_history test, presumably because it's an old version (1.12).
