Synopsis: A framework for packaging Haskell software
Description:
        The Haskell Common Architecture for Building Applications and
        Libraries: a framework defining a common interface for authors to more
        easily build their Haskell applications in a portable way.
        .
        The Haskell Cabal is part of a larger infrastructure for distributing,
        organizing, and cataloging Haskell libraries and tools.
Category: Distribution
cabal-version: >=1.6
Build-Type: Custom
-- Even though we do use the default Setup.lhs it's vital to bootstrapping
-- that we build Setup.lhs using our own local Cabal source code.
