24 Please report bugs and feature requests to Cabal's [bug tracker].
30 To help Cabal's development, it is enormously helpful to know from
31 Cabal's users what their most pressing problems are with Cabal and
32 [Hackage]. You may have a favourite Cabal bug or limitation. Look at
33 Cabal's [bug tracker]. Ensure that the problem is reported there and
34 adequately described. Comment on the issue to report how much of a
35 problem the bug is for you. Subscribe to the issue's notifications to
36 discuss requirements and keep informed on progress. For feature
37 requests, it is helpful if there is a description of how you would
38 expect to interact with the new feature.
