[Haskell-cafe] HackageDB: Haddock parse failure

Mon Sep 27 12:22:09 EDT 2010

HackageDB reports a build failure for happy-meta-0.1.1
(http://hackage.haskell.org/package/happy-meta-0.1.1), but from the
log it seems that the failure occurs when building the documentation.

The error is
src/LALR.lhs:230:2: parse error on input `numberSets'

I'm guessing there is no syntax error in this file (it is taken from
Happy), but rather an error in Haddock?

Also, perhaps HackageDB should ignore errors in building the
documentation? Currently the reported build failure propagates to the
dependencies of the library...
