Re: RFC: changes to -i flag for finding source files

I check out and work on projects on a bunch of machines, so it is important that I can just pull with git and go. AFAIK, git doesn't understand them won't build symlinks for me, so it'd just become another setup step for very marginal benefit, and another thing to .gitignore. -Edward

+1 from me. I have a lot of projects that suffer with 4 levels of vacuous subdirectories just for this.

In theory cabal could support this on older GHC versions by copying all of the files to a working dir in dist with the expected layout on older GHCs.

That would enable this to get much greater penetration more quickly.

What if you had a "real-src" directory with all your files as they are now, and a "src" symlink pointing inside your directory tree?

Cheers,
