Hi Duncan,
I'd just like to advertise the fact that as of Cabal-1.6 you can put a bug-reports field in your .cabal file and it will be displayed by hackage.
Fantastic. Is it backwards compatible? i.e. if I add such a field, will Cabal-1.2 give warnings/errors?
It should give warnings but not errors. Unfortunately for the source repo stuff that uses a new section which the old parser did not handle quite so gracefully. Duncan
