Project for building local haddock and hoogle for some packages

On Debian 12, some development packages need to be installed first (as root), as listed in debian-requirements.txt:

$ apt install libasound2-dev libblas-dev libbz2-dev libcairo2-dev libdbusmenu-gtk3-dev libgirepository1.0-dev libglew-dev libglib2.0-dev libgsl-dev libicu-dev liblapack-dev liblzma-dev libmariadb-dev libmysqlclient-dev libpcap-dev libpcre3-dev libpq-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-gfx-dev libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libxft-dev libxrandr-dev libxss-dev libzstd-dev pkgconf protobuf-compiler

Make sure that hoogle has been installed to somewhere on your PATH. Then run these commands to build the haddock and hoogle DB:

$ stack haddock # Add "-j8 --ghc-options -j8" for possibly more parallel processing.
$ stack hoogle generate -- --local

To run the local hoogle on port 8000:

$ stack hoogle server -- --local --port 8000

There is an issue that may cause hoogle to miss documentation for built-in packages like base and binary. One workaround is to hack the associated .conf files as described in this issue comment.
