The line: echo $HADDOCK_ARGS
From:
https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/libraries/gen_contents_index#L53
Was introduced in:
https://github.com/ghc/ghc/commit/2ad79aaa1b87164a0191e8f980f57a9fa0b80e0a
In archlinux (and other distros), gen_contents_index is run after
installing a package using the distro's package manager to update the
index file containing the list of libraries.
As a result of the commit, the output when installing a package can get
very verbose.
Since the original intention of this change was to make it easier to debug
crashes, I propose that there be a flag introduced into this script
--verbose or --debug which would print out $HADDOCK_ARGS when specified so
that the common case wouldn't include all the extra unneeded output.
I am willing to write a patch for this, if this idea is accepted.
