Someone really should figure out how to build software reliably using ghc packages. This is just embarassing. And then we could tell the cabal folks how to do this.
I understand that dons is reluctant to load up ghc every time xmonad loads, but perhaps we could figure out some way to track the modification date of the xmonad and/or xmonad-contrib packages and recompile if those have changed.
alternatively, could the installation of xmonad or xmonad-contrib could include post-install actions to kick off recompiling?
Note that xmonad can be installed system-wide (say, with --prefix=/usr/local) and going to every user's .xmonad does not look sane. -- Roman I. Cheplyaka (aka Feuerbach @ IRC)
