I have a project with multiple (indeed, many) packages. I would like to cabal check them in CI in the same way that I build them, test them, generate their haddocks, etc., i.e. using cabal <blah> all. However, cabal check doesn’t accept any arguments, and in fact requires me to be in the same directory as the .cabal file for the package i want to check.

Likewise, from the root of my project, if I want to cabal check some specific package, I have to first cd to its directory, because cabal check <local package name> isn’t accepted.

  1. cd somewhere in a project other than where the .cabal file for the package you want to check lives.
  2. cabal check <package name>

Add cabal package checking to the travis script.

Unfortunately, there is no `cabal check all`. See:

haskell/cabal#6282

So we have to manually change directories before we can issue the `cabal
check` command.

I have a rough working implementation, #8587 needs to be resolved first.
