patch applied (cabal): setup makefile: put the source-dir suffix rules after the distdir suffix rules

Wed Aug 6 06:03:09 PDT 2008 Simon Marlow <marlowsd(a)gmail.com> * setup makefile: put the source-dir suffix rules after the distdir suffix rules This matches the behaviour of 'setup build' works, and is robust to people accidentally having old preprocessed sources lying around in the source dir.

It seems $HOME/.local/bin is shared between all programs, unlike e.g. $HOME/.local/lib/python2.6/ ? Of course this is how /usr/local works already. But I wonder if we should put the actual binaries somewhere else, and just put symlinks in that "bin" directory. What if the pythoners accidentally call some program "happy" and it conflicts with the binary derived from haskell's Hackage? (Of course that would be a problem for other reasons, but it's worse if it requires overwriting unknown binaries with binaries rather than symlinks vs. symlinks.) -Isaac
