How is the the organisation of xmonad supposed to account for extensions such as these that need to be linked with additional libraries? It seems any such extensions must patch not only XMonadContrib but also core xmonad to account for the build process, or is there some way around this?
If adopted, the docstring parser patch I posted to the list earlier today would handles this for you; you'd simply add comments to your source for each external dependency: -- %cabalbuilddep foo>=1.0 -- %cabalbuilddep bar>=2.0 ... These dependencies would get picked up by the parser (which ideally is launched by a darcs post-commit hook in the contrib repo) and shoved into xmonad.cabal. -- Alex Tarkovsky
