Re: [Haskell] [Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: docidx-1.0.0

[Andy Gimblett]

With apologies, I now announce docidx-1.0.1 which fixes a problem kindly 
pointed out by Jack Henahan.  If you tried to install docidx using cabal 
install over the weekend and failed, please try again now.

The docidx-1.0.0.tar.gz uploaded to hackage on Friday was missing most of its 
source code (everything except its Main module in fact), because I hadn't added 
an other-modules field to docidx.cabal.  I hadn't actually tried to build 
from that tarball, so I didn't spot this: I had assumed that if I could cabal 
install in my source directory, then the tarball (produced by cabal sdist) 
would work too.  (And yes, I've tested this version before announcing it! :-) )

Apologies again, and many thanks to Jack for pointing this out.

-Andy

I've been using docidx for a while now. It's a great little tool. I highly 
recommend to anyone looking for a centralized documentation tool.

 Hi all.  I'd like to announce docidx, a new tool for Haskell documentation:
 
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/docidx
http://github.com/gimbo/docidx.hs
 
 docidx is a program which creates a static HTML page indexing your installed 
 packages, with links to your local haddock docs and to each package's hackage 
 page.  It covers global and user packages, and handles multiple installed 
 versions sensibly.  Here's how the output looks:
 
http://github.com/gimbo/docidx.hs/raw/master/examples/example.png
 
 The idea is to complement the index by module name which Cabal creates and 
 maintains.  Sometimes you want to find things by package.  :-)  (But note 
 that unlike Cabal's index, docidx's isn't automatically updated when you 
 install a new package; so, I run it once an hour from cron.)
 
 Please see the github page for more details, including customisation options.
 
 Hopefully somebody will find this useful.  Maybe one day it could be part of 
 cabal-install?  :-)
 
 Thanks!

 PS: A bit of history/due credit: Martijn van Steenbergen did something 
 similar in PHP in early 2009: 
 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/53531/focus=53572 ; then 
 I wrote a static version in Python later that year: 
 http://gimbo.org.uk/blog/2009/09/23/ ; then Andy Price ported that to 
 Haskell: https://github.com/andyprice/docidx.hs ; finally, I rewrote that to 
 build the index via Cabal rather than walking the filesystem directly - and 
 here we are.
