Description

Hello,

The .pdf doc for External Core seems to be missing from haskell.org. The link at: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/ext-core.html points to: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/ext-core/core.pdf but the latter URL is broken.

Thanks, fixed; and I've added a note to my release checklist, so next time it should be right first time round!

PS: and redirect the broken link on http://www.haskell.org/ghc/documentation.html ?

Hello,

The link is broken again (problem description is exactly the same as in my original ticket.)

Works for me. Note that the core docs have moved to http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/core.pdf

I see that the users' guide does indeed have the right link, but is it possible to create a symbolic link so that the old link still works? I had kind of assumed that the URL http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/ext-core/core.pdf was going to be stable and I've cited it in various places.

Thanks...

Done.

If by "cite" you mean in academic papers, I think it would be better to use stable URLs corresponding to a particular GHC version, e.g. http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.4/html/ext-core/core.pdf
