Package authors,
We are about to add an additional quality check in the Hackage upload process that will affect many packages. Hackage will require an upper bound on the version of the base package and reject packages that omit it.
The check is now active. If you upload and think that your package is rejected in error then please email the cabal-devel list or file a ticket: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ Note that currently "cabal upload [--check]" is pretty awful at reporting the package quality errors that hackage generates. The current workaround is to use -v3 to see the whole HTTP conversation, the tail of which will include package quality error messages. This should be improved for a future release (see ticket #549 if you'd like to work on it). Duncan
