Description

When I run cabal update it updates one-or-more package(s). But does not rebuild/reinstall dependent packages. It must be done manually. I think it would be part of the job. (As I saw it in the gentoo world. :))

cabal update does not upgrade/install packages. It updates the list of known packages by downloading the list from the hackage server.

The cabal upgrade command is probably what you are looking for. It upgrades all packages to the latest versions. The gentoo equivalent of cabal update is emerge --sync and the equivalent of cabal upgrade is emerge -D world.
