Does Hackage generate haddocks for package candidates?

Question

I'd like to get feedback on my package's documentation before publishing it to the main index. However, irrespective of how long I wait, Hackage doesn't seem to be building haddocks for my package candidate. Is this a known issue?

Is my only option to release a 0.1.0.0 version of my package and update the versions frequently as a I incorporate feedback from other people?

Answer 1

I don't know whether Hackage builds haddocks for package candidates. But there is at least one other option you have: you can build the documentation yourself (e.g. cabal haddock will do it and I'm sure stack has something similar) and host it somewhere that the folks you want feedback from can see it -- perhaps even on the Hackage candidate itself.
