shouldn’t they change with every library update? In that case, maybe that should be managed by cabal, similar to how cabal can update your haddock index at ~/.cabal/share/doc/index.html. (Such an infrastructure would be nice for other people as well, e.g. leksah). But I might misunderstand how hoogle works and what the databases are for.
