Finally, something was mentioned about the Cabal version number only being accurate for when somebody uses Cabal sdist --snapshot mechanism. However, this isn't documented, and the documentation for "sdist" claims that it doesn't work for most Cabalized packages (which use the simple build infrastructure).
I'm not sure which version you're looking at. I don't recognize either of these things in the sdist section of the Cabal User's Guide distributed since GHC 6.4.
I was looking under "latest stable version" on the Cabal website. I thought it was the latest version of the docs because the URL had "latest" in it. I see that it is documented in later versions. But, I don't see how that mechanism would help in this situation. Regards, Brian
