I was getting reading to upload a module to hackage. I did that once
before a long time ago, so I reused and modified an old .cabal file.
Current there are two copied-in values that I am not sure about:
Cabal-version: >=1.2
Build-depends: base >= 4 && < 5
What should these values be set to?
code:
--------
$ cabal --version
cabal-install version 0.10.2
using version 1.10.2.0 of the Cabal library
$ ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.4.1

It doesn't matter a whole lot unless you are using various extensions
to the .cabal format. In fact cabal will complain at you if you use
features not supported by the version you specify. However, at
present the suggested value is
Cabal-version: >=1.10
> Build-depends: base >= 4 && < 5
This should be fine. The latest released version of base is 4.5, and
4.6 will be coming out with ghc 7.6.
