Hi David & GHC team,
today i tried to build haddock.ghc from
http://darcs.haskell.org/SoC/haddock.ghc/
with a recent ghc head, and there seem to be some
odd ends (it starts with not finding 'stringToPackageId'
and 'packageIdString', then continues with different ideas
about the arity and type of HsModule).
i've probably just picked a bad moment for downloading,
but it made me wonder whether such a tightly integrated
tool shouldn't be built and maintained in synch with ghc
itself.
my suggestion:
- keep it as a separate repo, but let darcs-all fetch it
- build haddock.ghc during ghc's make, but distribute
it as a separate tool
that way, it would get daily builds and, more importantly,
anyone making a change that affects haddock.ghc would
notice that instantly, and could update it. and those who
want to use haddock.ghc without ghc, or don't want to
increase the size of ghc distributions, could still do so.
