I'm trying to fix ticket #169<http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/169> - Haskell Platform 2011-2.0.0: parsec docs contain broken HTML links before rebuilding 7.0.3
The problem stems from the build.sh script where packages are built with a faux package database generated from "./Setup register --inplace" so that the packages can find each other while they are being built. However, haddock also uses that package database to determine how to generate inter-package links. Of course, the value in there is wrong, it points to where on my build system those docs reside, not where they will reside on the user's machine. I think the solution here is to take building haddock out of the build.sh script, and place it in yet another new script. Then, before calling it, assemble a mock-final package database, and use that to build the haddocks. I'll plan on making that change, but it will affect any other packaging effort that is depending on build.sh to build the haddocks. Anyone object? Thoughts? - Mark
