Erros while upload a package

I write a simple library with haskell and run below script

#!/bin/sh
set -e

dir=$(mktemp -d dist-docs.XXXXXX)
trap 'rm -r "$dir"' EXIT

# assumes cabal 2.4 or later
cabal v2-haddock --builddir="$dir" --haddock-for-hackage --enable-doc

cabal upload -d --publish $dir/*-docs.tar.gz

There throws a error like

hackage.haskell.org username: LIBO
hackage.haskell.org password: 
Uploading documentation dist-docs.xhhhzj/Algebras-0.1.0.0-docs.tar.gz...
Error uploading documentation dist-docs.xhhhzj/Algebras-0.1.0.0-docs.tar.gz:
http code 404
Error: Package not found

No such package version for Algebras

I want to know how to upload a simple package

You are trying to upload documentation for Algebras package, cabal complains that there is no such package and indeed it is right.

If you want to actually upload a package to Hackage

cabal upload dist-newstyle/sdist/Algebra-0.1.2.3.tar.gz
# this will upload a candidate package. Once you make
# sure everything is right add --publish

will do. I had no problems with Hackage building documentation in the past few years, so you shouldn’t need to upload it yourself, let the server do the job for you.

@wujilingfeng1 If you are writing a new package can I please discourage you from taking such a valuable part of the namespace as Algebras? Perhaps a codename, or Algebras-<codename>. For example I tend to name my packages after fish, e.g. opaleye.

Thank you for your advice.

I really want to write an algebra library, but I don’t have enough energy and needs.

This library currently contains only tensor and antisymmetric tensor operations.

I’ll change its name to lbalgebras.

Tank you very much! I’m apllying to be a uploader.
