Any path in your .cabal file that uses dist/ is wrong. Sorry. The dist path can be changed by the user (--builddir) and its internal layout is not fixed. > And so Hackage complains: I needed to manually include such an empty > directory in the source code archive. > > Any way out? I can't think of any other workaround for 1.2 so I think you'll have to require Cabal-1.4 for your package.
