yesod-core-1.2.17: Fix Haddock on Hackage

[spl]

No documentation on Hackage means that (at least):

• links from other packages such as yesod don't work and
• Hayoo doesn't index the names.

Is it possible to upload a minor version fix to this?

[spl]

Also yesod-static 1.2.2.5, 1.2.3, and 1.2.4.

Following this comment, I just tried the following:

curl -X DELETE http://MichaelSnoyman:mypassword@hackage.haskell.org/package/yesod-static-1.2.4/docs

Hopefully that will resolve the issue.

Do you think it's a problem with Hackage itself?

Also, there's this.

[snoyberg]

It's usually a safe assumption that it's a problem with Hackage.

Is that link for instructions on uploading my own copy of the docs? I'm not opposed to that.

Ah, didn't know Hackage was having so much trouble these days. It used to be a safe assumption that the package was doing something different, e.g. with TH or whatever.

Is that link for instructions on uploading my own copy of the docs?

Yes, it's from a thread with other people having trouble with Hackage building the docs. Earlier in the thread Erik Hesselink said the DELETE didn't do the job for him. I haven't tried any of these myself, so I don't know how successful each approach is.

[snoyberg]

I was just being facetious, Hackage isn't usually that bad. I'll give one of those approaches a shot now.

[spl]

Okay, missed that. 😄

[snoyberg]

Turns out the problem was with building aeson:

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/yesod-core-1.2.17/reports/1/log

I used the script at https://gist.github.com/Fuuzetsu/8276421, which seems to be working pretty well. The docs should now all be working.

Great! Thanks so much, @snoyberg.
