I was getting reading to upload a module to hackage. I did that once before a long time ago, so I reused and modified an old .cabal file. Current there are two copied-in values that I am not sure about: Cabal-version: >=1.2 Build-depends: base >= 4 && < 5 What should these values be set to? code: -------- $ cabal --version cabal-install version 0.10.2 using version 1.10.2.0 of the Cabal library $ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.4.1 -------- -- frigidcode.com indicium.us

It doesn't matter a whole lot unless you are using various extensions to the .cabal format. In fact cabal will complain at you if you use features not supported by the version you specify. However, at present the suggested value is Cabal-version: >=1.10
Build-depends: base >= 4 && < 5
This should be fine. The latest released version of base is 4.5, and 4.6 will be coming out with ghc 7.6. -Brent
