[Haskell-beginners] Packages

[Karl Voelker]

If your library has any internal modules, make sure to list them in the
other-modules section of your cabal file. Every module has to be listed
somewhere in the cabal file; otherwise, cabal will not include that
module's source file in the tarball that can be built with the "cabal
sdist" command.

In other words, a more thorough test for package completeness is to run
"cabal sdist," take the tarball somewhere else, extract it, and build
from that.
