Feedback welcome!

There is inconsistent advice regarding Setup.hs/Setup.lhs. (#! in .hs files seems to be a feature of GHC Haskell.)

Fixed. And mkcabal generates .lhs Setups now.

For releases, another possibility is Cabal's sdist feature. This will do a bit more checking, and ensure that the tarball has the structure expected by HackageDB. In the example project, you'd want to add

extra-source-files: Tests.hs

to make this work.

Thanks for the constructive suggestions Ross. I've added information on Cabal's sdist to the page. -- Don
