- the usage documentation page is only online. it should be
copied into the download, for offline users.
But then we have the problem of keeping it in sync.
that is exactly the problem your users run into, only aggravated
by not having the page in the first place. can't the trak wiki push
the plain text version of the wiki page into the repo after each edit?
or, how about a separate repo for all the parts of the developer
wiki relevant to building, testing, hacking, and a cron job that
records and pushes from the wiki files nightly?
i still tend to work offline a lot, especially when i want to get
things done without distractions. and i always run into this
"everyone is online" issue with ghc: the building guide, the
test instructions, the commentary, the validation guidelines,
.. all unavailable if i go offline after 'darcs-all pull'..
those who like or need to be offline when hacking
could then simply add the wikidocs package to the
darcs-all targets, and happily work in peace (or in a
plane, where much of ghc was born?-).
