I've thought for a while that we should have a cabal-lint, that runs the sanity checks that hackage does before accepting an upload. Perhaps cabal-lint could also check that building and haddocking works, and run the packages testsuite too? People would then be encouraged to run that before uploading to hackage, and to the extent permitted by security concerns, hackage could run cabal-lint itself.

It should certainly be part of cabal-upload. (We do have a cabal- upload program, don't we?) / Thomas
