--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
For many packages on Hackage there is a corresponding Hoogle input file,
for example:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/cmdargs/0.6.5/doc/html/cmdargs.txt
To generate Hoogle databases for every package on Hackage I have a script
that downloads the documentation for every package, then puts it in a
tarball and uploads it back to http://haskell.org/hoogle/hackage-
haddock.tar.gz
There are three disadvantages to the current process. It's quite a lot of
connections to Hackage to download every single file, it takes quite a lot
of time to download them individually (about 50 minutes using wget
serially), and the tarball on Hoogle is often (always?) out of date. Would
it be possible for Hackage to supply a tarball of all the Hoogle input
files?
