That's a good point; I hadn't thought of the name conflict. Between that and Brandon's security point (ghc might not reuse those files depending on how it checks for existing files, and one could probably solve it by forcing recompilation), I guess this isn't a good idea; I've marked it rejected on darcswatch.

So, we could either wait until GHC implements and widely releases some -remove-intermediates option, or we could just go with Joachim's old strategy of manually removing the intermediates in .xmonad/: http://darcswatch.nomeata.de/bundles/8e8ad2f4b141e33c06490e60b15f3191f84a5cc...

So. Thoughts on *that*?

This patch won't work for people using stuff in ~/.xmonad/lib. Somehow I feel that this should be fixed in GHC. (Personally, I don't care. I use a makefile instead of --recompile anyway.) Regards, -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a. Liskni_si, http://work.lisk.in/
