The latest released cabal-install does what you want here. $ cabal install cabal-install
Well, I might be spoiled by portage but shouldn't there be a thing like
cabal upgrade pureMD5
That also works in the latest version. comparing, $ cabal install foo $ cabal upgrade foo both mean to get the latest 'foo'. The difference between install and upgrade is whether the dependencies are also upgraded or not. In Gentoo they call this 'deep' upgrades.
and
cabal upgrade --all
We write that as just $ cabal upgrade Duncan
