Hi,
we have several issues on Haddock's ghc-7.6 branch.  I fixed some of
those, but some still persist.

Isolated, none of those issues are a big deal.  But combined they are.
Is there a way we can prevent situations like this in the future?  Would
it work to establish the convention that if you change Haddock you have
to build a vanilla Haddock (say without in-ghc-tree) and run the test
suite?

Is there a build bot that builds haddock and runs its tests on a
regular basis? That's the best way I know to keep things from
regressing without spending too much effort.

Right. GHC's validate already builds Haddock and runs that Haddock over all the packages in the GHC tree. It shouldn't be hard to add the Haddock test suite too. Paolo, maybe you could look into that?

Cheers,
        Simon
