Hi,
probably a PEBCAK, but working on updating all our Haskell-related
OpenBSD ports, I've currently the problem, that, e.g. for Crypto
the Haddock-generated documentation doesn't gets installed where I
want it installed ;-)
The default obviously is something like $prefix/share/Crypto-$VERSION/doc/html,
but I want $prefix/share/doc/Crypto-$VERSION, or, even preferrable, just
$prefix/share/doc/Crypto. That's:
- $prefix/share/doc as base directory for all documentation, since
that's the default on OpenBSD.
- no html subdirectory if not strictly necessary, because I don't like a
doc directory containing nothing but a html directory.
- no version number in the directory name, because typically we don't
have different versions of the same software installed at the
same time -- there are exceptions from this rule, but I really
don't plan to start maintaining several versions of one ore more
Haskell packages ;-)
Is this configurable at Cabal/Haddock runtime? I'd try to play
with --datadir, but this appears a little bit dangerous as a general
approach, since some packages my actually come with real data, which
should *not* go into $prefix/share/doc, of course.
Or do I have to patch Cabal? If so, what about adding just another
FilePath like docdir to Distribution.SimpleLocalBuildInfo and use
it for the documentation?
Ciao,
Kili
