I try to upload a package to hackage. I have included a README.md and a ChangeLog.md file and mentioned them in the .cabal file:
extra-source-files:
README.md
ChangeLog.md
but receive, when uploading the dist file to hackage, a cryptic error message:
Ignoring trailing fields after sections: "extra-source-files".
On the web I found some hints to consider the cabal.cabal file as en example, but the format used there did not satisfy the checks of hackage.
It would be highly desirable, that cabal sdist does apply the same strict testing than hackage upload - and preferably with error message which not only tell what is wrong from the programmer perspective but hint to a corrective action; for example: where should the information in the "trailing fields" go.
