[Haskell-cafe] Cabal v3 public sub-libraries

[Mikolaj Konarski]

Hi Daniel,

I don't remember if candidates now display haddocks, but if they do,
that's probably a good way to test the multilib haddocks. Otherwise, I
guess, spin a private Hackage and test there.

I looked closer and there is also some related work remaining to do in cabal

https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/7669

and in haddock (polishing the multilib case and extending to backpack)

https://github.com/haskell/haddock/issues/1363

but probably not a lot in hackage-server itself

https://github.com/haskell/hackage-server/issues/924
https://github.com/haskell/hackage-server/issues/577

It may be useful to get in touch with the interested parties and
comment in these issues or open new ones.

Kind regards,
Mikolaj

Does anyone know if this is supported on hackage, and if not, if there is a plan to allow this behavior on hackage?
