> Known issues: > > See http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/wiki/Windows Are you using the ghc-6.12.3 release or current daily snapshots? The release has several documentation-related issues (on Windows, at least), some of which might be fixed or fixable via snapshots (as no further 6.12.x releases seem to be planned): - ghc-pkg field * haddock-html doesn't work http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4156 (fixed July 4th, workaround would be to create an empty directory to run this command in, to neutralize the unwanted self-globbing) - ghc-pkg field * haddock-html gives wrong results (eg, pointing to lib/base-4.2.0.2, while the html docs are in doc/html/libraries/base-4.2.0.2/ ) - I'm sure I've encountered broken documentation links in installed haddock documentation (just one example: from the Data.Generics page, the link to Data.Generic.Schemes is broken, as the package id is missing in the link; while the link from the main index is correct) as well as missing linkage during cabal installs with 'documentation: True' (eg, in my haskell-src-exts docs, there are no links for Bool/Maybe/String). For the former, there is a long-standing ticket about broken link testing http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1574 but it seems that the windows installer docs have package ids in the urls while the haskell.org docs (and the broken local links) do not. doc/html/libraries/syb-0.1.0.2%5CData-Generics-Schemes.html Are these issues known? Do they apply to the HP RC? More generally: what is the status of establishing a proper testing process for Haskell platform releases?
