I'm learning useful things in this thread.

I've done this once, but with the cabal dependencies, not darcs. Thus the uploaded sdist was missing one of the source files, and consequently failed to build.
I have a pre-release make target where I test everything I can think of. I think it prevents the above, am I right ?
Dunno.
# run pre-release checks: cabal is happy, the code builds, tests pass.. check: setversion unittest doctest haddocktest cabal clean cabal check cabal configure cabal build

You'd also want to test cabal haddock cabal test cabal copy "$(TMPDIR="$PWD" mktemp -dt yow.XXXXXX)" # untested IMO even if your tests aren't implemented in Setup.lhs, you should still teach "cabal test" how to run them. That helps distributors like me automatically run the test -- i.e. you get testing "for free" because we don't have to go out of our way to turn it on.
