Brief Summary

The purpose of this chapter is to clear up some of the ambiguity around the overloaded term "cabal". We at least want to cover these four terms:

  • cabal-install - the cli
  • Cabal - the hackage package
  • cabal.project - The configuration file
  • .cabal - The package specific configuration file

If there are other cabal related terms that might be confusing, this would be a good place to precisely define them, and distinguish them from other cabal related things.
